Poll of the Week: Fly Me to the Moon?

Would you go to the Moon, if given the chance?  How about a vacation in 1/6th g?  263 students left their opinion in this weeks poll.  The majority thought a vacation sounded great, while about a fourth of the students would stick around and colonize our orbiting buddy.  While most of the rest were just being cautious about, a small few rejected the idea outright, but willing to help others to get there!

Here are some selected comments from the Discussion Board:

I, personally, would wait until I get the feedback of those who have gone there already.
Then, I would be sure about problems and what not, how comfortable it is, and the daily routine.
This would also ensure that I will come back alive!

Yes. Absolutely, positively, definitely, 100.00% yes. When do we leave?
I love the moon!  I'll gladly time travel back to the Apollo era and hop aboard the Saturn V! I would like to come home after a while, but a vacation on the moon doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Again, I want to be the guy on Earth controlling that thing/building the rockets. I might go as a short vacation, but...
Well, I would definately go in a heartbeat. But, I would want to come back down to Earth after a while. So, a vacation sounds good.
I'd go there in a heartbeat too! I would be willing to live there as long as I could periodically visit our family, friends, and Earth. It would be so cool to be in a lunar colony!
LOL sure. After all, someone has to build and plan it, or it never gets off the ground.
Just be sure the problem solving guide/instruction manual thing whatever it's called has "Don't Panic" on the cover...

Thanks for participating in our polls, and look for the new poll to be posted Tuesday afternoon!
