If you had the opportunity to go into space beyond the Moon, in an Earth environment sustaining -1 G and 14.7 psi- space craft as part of an international 52 strong crew, -26 M and 26 F- on a long duration voyage would you go, and for how long would you want to be away from family and friends?

actually, for sanity and gene pooling sake, you would want to keep the men there.

How fast is the ship?, are we talking close to light speed or just space rocket fast?

I always wanted to go into space, but a long duration voyage... honestly doesn't sound that fun.

There are woman on board as you say, but to me that's just another chance to be a quiet, introverted, anti-social badass, normal girls aren't really interested in that.

So, a long duration voyage, probably boring as hell after I get over the initial awesomeness of being in space, where I'd most likely spend my lonely days just thinking and doing whatever tasks, if any, I may have been assigned on this voyage.

Would have to bring a lot of books, I'm guessing the GR33N is out of the picture... I'd have to say no at this point in my life.

Well unless the OP is referring to the Mars One colonization efforts I don't believe long term procreation is part of the agenda. And if we're talking about years in space with the same group I don't believe it will take long for the ship to turn into one big sexually open frat house.

\o/ space

I think it depends on how high the chance of succes is. If it is something bordering a high risk mission I would not go. But if there was a fair chance of succes (by that I mean the current avarage successrate of space missions) I would most likely go. I am studying medicine now, and I am actually thinking / dreaming about if there is any ways I could get into space exploration that way. Like being the Doctor abroad an exploration spacecraft.

I used to be a submariner. Bring it on - A year or more would be fine (especially as my marriage has survived all that sailing nonsense, and my kids can take care of themselves. We know the drill very well.).

Edit:
You don't even need to bother to balance the crew. I've reached an age where enforced celibacy is no longer a death-sentence.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

All it takes is one threesome and the ratio will be ruined. Unless there are 2 threesomes...then it works out.

Ok...as long as there are an even number of threesomes at any given time this voyage will work.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

true, but, unless you have some sort of special skill to keep women ripping their throats out of each other, your best bet is to keep a 1:1 ratio.

no, it doesn't work with lesbians, believe me. I've worked once in a furniture store where saleswomen outnumbered salesman in a ratio of like 5 or 6 women for 1 man, and they had these groups formed that enjoyed to actively sabotage (no joke here, it was a very bad problem) each other.

well usually, in a "professional" environment, like where i work, we keep the conflict to eloquently **** talking behind each others back. wouldn't want to create a "toxic" work place or any other of the stupid buzzwords used in the corporate world.

A good friends daughter was stationed on the Truman for 6 months and from some of the stories it doesn't sound like they enforce it enough. I'm telling you I've heard some ****.

Depends on just how well-disciplined the crew is. Which really means "How good are your senior leaders?"

Do note I said 'submariner' above. Elite crews, generally selected from the top performers - Volunteering isn't enough, you got to be able to hack it, too. Slackers and losers will be found out. Which does not mean there are no folks who will find other ways of screwing up - Even elite units are made up of people.

Bird farms (carriers), on the other hand... Well, the best you can say for them is that they're big. Actually, that's part of the problem...

hell no.

But i will be totally interested in the podcasts they send back, while i watch pretty young things saunter past my bar window. And sometimes, when i am walking around looking at the beautiful trees and dogs and sky, I might dream of ..... nah, that is what EVE is for.
