Deep Sea or Space

[Irv]

Probably not the best time to ask this but I am curious.  If given the option, and it was free, would you go down to the Titanic in a submersible or get shot up into space in a rocket?  What's behind your answer?  They both look pretty ******* dangerous to me.  

 

[SCBills]

Neither.  
 

If forced to choose, probably space .. we know more about the physics and safety of leaving earth/re-entry than we do deep sea exploration. 
 

However, I have a tremendous amount of respect for those with the bravery and sense of wonder to go do those things.

 

Society is better with those people as part of it.

Don't go where you're not naturally equipped to survive.

[Gregg]

Neither and for the reason you mentioned as they both look dangerous. But if forced to pick I would go to space.

[Draconator]

Space. The idea of being weightless even for 5 minutes is super cool to me. 

[Rockpile233]

Definitely space. There’s at least some breathtaking views and zero gravity experience.

 

The thought about staring out into complete darkness from a cramped tiny vessel doesn’t speak to me although I am impressed by people who would do that.

[Bray Wyatt]

Probably should have done a poll, but I think its space easily, even if its just based on the opportunity is rarer I would imagine.

 

While I wouldnt mind either, the whole blasting off seems like it would be fun to travel that fast, and the weightlessness and views would seem to be amazing.

 

My curiosity for the deep sea stuff is there, like I want to know whats down there, the experience overall just seems like it would be worse. Cramped, not much visibility etc

[Jauronimo]

Space pulls more tail than deep ocean.

[BillsPride12]

Neither really does anything for me

 

To me Thrilling would be seeing the Bills win a Super Bowl or the Sabres winning a Cup

Deep sea.  Not sure I could withstand the G forces of liftoff.

Not in that little craft which is probably lost though.

In a bathyscaphe - I have been in once when working.  Did not go very deep however.

[TheCockSportif]

Neither.  Contribution to 401k.  Retire in peace.

[teef]

i get all of the excitement i need from unprotected sex.  condoms are for jerks.

So that means I can't go to Arizona?

 

😏 

 

 

To answer the question, probably space, I'd want my intact body at least floating around some place.

There are civilized parts with air conditioning. There's also areas of endless gruelling desert. So yeah, there are parts I won't go to.

Do we get to come back?  

I've always wanted to go to space.  Not gonna happen tho, too old / fat to be an astronaut.

Air conditioners and furnaces aren't natural. The fact is, humans live in climates where we aren't naturally equipped to survive, but using technology, we control the internal climate. Spacecraft and ocean vessels are just extensions of climate-control technology. When something goes wrong with the technology, the result can be death, as in the people who die during heatwaves or deep freezes because power is out.

The forces at liftoff are not that great.

 

Space for me, but not the way it is now.

I am more an a Apollo era guy. 

[Warcodered]

I'd rather get to see the Earth from space than look at a mass grave at the bottom of the ocean.
