Fear is not rational, fear of low beams and door-frame lintels would appear more rational, but then that's not so much being fearful as being prudent.

I have gotten hurt more than once on low beams and doorways, twice resulting in trips to the emergency room. When I eventually go bald everyone will be able to see the scars, and I can be a stunt double in horror movies.

Not me. I don't like heights one bit, and jumping out of a plane has never sounded like a fun activity to me. Even less so at that height.

I wouldn't, but I have no objections to everyone else on the planet having a go. In fact I would positively insist on it.

Considering you'd never get me up there in the first place, I don't know if I'd jump, or just stand there whimpering.

Watching that gif makes me want to cry, I would have to be paid a large sum of money to make that jump.

Then you don't partake in life? Because life always results with death you know... Tongue

Yeah I would, it must've been awesome, in both senses of the word.
And considering the prep and work with NASA and etc I would've actually felt much safer doing this over sky diving.

Though after this no roller coaster would ever be fun so that's a downside

Not many mountains in low earth orbit.

That would be a no then. Wink

I wonder if we'd have to call this one a spaceplane.... Disapprove

But then I have no spine or testicles.

Hard to stand upright with no spine. Come to think of it, pretty hard to stand upright with no testicles either. Tongue

That's why you see so many female hunchbacks.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?
