3R?-3

Given the fact that this month is the 36th anniversary of the moonwalk, the United States is trying to get back in the space shuttle business, and Scotty from Star Trek died,

Please tell me:

1. What character from a television program or movie about space travel do you most identify, and why?

2. What thing in space travel fiction (book, movie, TV) is most likely to turn out to be true/possible in the future?

3. As commercial space flight becomes a reality, how much would you spend to go up in space? How long would you have to be up there to make it worth your while?

Scotty

I just heard that James Doohan had died. I met him once, at a FantaCon. I'll have to write about that sometime, right, ADD?

Today is the 36th anniversary of the moonwalk, somehow an appropriate day for Star Trek's Chief Engineer, Montgomery Scott, to head off for that real final frontier.
