Are you interested in outer space? Would you space travel? Could be an out of the world experience, don't you think?

I would love it, but doubt I am physically up for it now. My father worked for NASA during the Apollo program, so I grew up watching rocket launches on TV at 5:00 AM. I love the stories my dad told about some of the lesser-known great moments in history that most people don't know.
I think the original Star Trek crew went to NASA for an event about a space shuttle. This one was named Enterprise.
Eh no think it was scotty who had his ashes scattered in space and shatner went into space

A possible consolation for those of us who would love to travel in Space but never shall is that even the Moon and Mars can come to us, at a price. Mars is close to the the Asteroid Belt so it is more likely than most planets to get hammered by collisions so violent that they propel lumps of the planet all the way to Earth. There may be lumps of other planets waiting to be identified in Earth's deserts but space probes have discovered less about what their chemical composition would be.
If you do obtain Lunar or Martian meteorite segments, think about how important you must be, in that lumps of other planets swirled about the Solar System for tens of thousands of years just so that they could come to your home. You can be Ming the Mercilless lording over your miniature space empire. Plebeian astronauts like Flash Gordon have to work so much harder.
There are fakes out there, though, so unless you are a geologist specialising in meteorites, it would be wise to buy from a dealer with a good reputation.
