I think we are a long, long way from going into space Star Trek style if ever, but if they offered me a place on the next shuttle I wouldn't say no. It would be my dream job. :)

The lower G forces mean that the level of fitness required is not a rigorous as it used to be and space walking must be the most amazing experience ever!

Yes yes I agree with you there. :D If I had $20 million, I'd jump at the chance to go up in the next space shuttle.
 
You don't need money, just the right type of scientific qualifications. As mine are in Biological Sciences inclined towards of the environment, climate change, and remote earth sensing with the right research job it would increase my chances of being part of a future crew. But that could be said of 100s of others too. Many are called, but few are chosen - I can still dream. ;)

While I consider myself an intellectual and would love to research for life in some highly specialized field, I don't think will do it. I'm as much as a capitalist, businessman, entrepeneur as a scientist... Soo, I'm going to buy my way up there. :p Perhaps. One can dream, can't you?
 
I've been dreaming for over 30 years, since I was eight, now I'm writing about those dreams in my novels - watch this space. ;)
 
I'm up to chapter 4 of "Twilight Assassin" my first, but I have outlines for several more. When I've finished I may release them as eBooks as it's very hard to get into print over here, a solid year of writing only got me 2 published poems - I'm learning to use Adobe at the moment for that purpose. But I'll have to find a secure site and learn more about ePayments as well first. I've been experimenting with different ways of preventing my poetry from being copied from one of my sites, sound files, etc. as well. But I'm having problems with my soundcard - It's playing up after I wake the comp from standby - I may upgrade to an audigy platinum when I have the money and it decreases a little in price. I hear audigy II is in the works.
