Space Shuttle - Would you go up?

If given the opportunity, would you fly on the Space Shuttle? Think about this one. The initial reaction is to say, "Of course!" But think about it. It IS still a huge risk.

Yes. After some intense deliberation.
I don't think I could pass up an opportunity like that! (Assuming it is free)

Hells yeah. I've always wanted to be an astronaut. But I'm not sure my wife would let me.

I've been to Space Camp. I'd go on the Shuttle, or its successor, in a heartbeat! And I'd want to stay for at least a couple of weeks so I could get over the space sickness and really enjoy my time up there!
