So you've been to Stockport.

I actually take the M62 through Stockport to work from Manchester.

Sure I got a free trip to the moon, but I can't get time off work to take the trip.

[โ€“] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Theyโ€™d go if there was a crappy resort town with English speaking bartenders and a branch of Greggs.

How dare you! You're right, but how dare you.

[โ€“] meliaesc@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I mean... ๐Ÿค”

Well personally I donโ€™t care that much. Going there is probably also a lot of faff. If it took 5h to get there โ€œdoor to doorโ€ maybe. I understand the people who would like to go there, though, I completely get it.

To be given the chance to visit a safe friendly alien planet inhabited by intelligent species, now thatโ€™s something Iโ€™d like to do. Probably more for the cultural experience.

Wallace and Gromit went to the Moon. I think they decided it was made of Wensleydale.

[โ€“] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The moon is made of a British town?

[โ€“] NutWrench@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

The cheese. ;)

[โ€“] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

My mind immediately went to Wallace and Gromit

[โ€“] Moghul@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Damn, I'd go there even now, no need to guarantee security. Put my ass in a box to Jupiter with guaranteed no way back, I'll go.

[โ€“] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I would though, it would be an incredible view. But only in at least as much safety as in a car.

The monkey's paw curls. You find yourself in the passenger seat of a luxurious, self-driving car, driving up into the sky with the moon directly in front of you. A speed limit sign flies past; "55 mph"

Pretty much everyone who has been to space claims its one of the most transformative perspective changing things they have done.

Just wait until it gets filled with tourists.

Nothing quite spoils even the most awe-inpiring experience than being surrounded by people who "just have to" vocalize (worse, as some kind of performance for those around them) how much awe inspiring the whole thing is.

Mind you, I'm an introvert, so maybe it's just me having trouble appreciating socially performative "awe".

We should launch more people into space.

Mushrooms and LSD is cheaper.

Can we just not ask the English? Just tell them it's for the queen or something

[โ€“] rmuk 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

the queen

I have some news for you.

[โ€“] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

WHAT THE FUCK

[โ€“] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Guaranteed if there were home made sausage rolls on the moon it'd be colonised within days

[โ€“] Emperor 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Home made? Just open a Greggs.

There's no one there... It's the perfect place!

[โ€“] flamingos 4 points 6 months ago

Just go to your local high street.

[โ€“] GeneralInterest@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (4 children)

The thing is that you can't guarantee safety. Things can always go wrong. Perhaps that's why people are cautious about it.
