Scott and SadieKaty Perry, Gayle King, and Lauren Sanchez went to space this week, and then got ridiculed for it. But would YOU go if you had the money?
Most Americans in a new poll said NO, they wouldn’t go to space even if money was no object. Only around a third of us would do it. 31% said yes . . . 55% said no way . . . and 14% said maybe.
People who wouldn’t go think it’s either too risky, too bad for the environment, or they’re just not interested.
Some of us are more willing to go than others though, especially men and young people: 39% of men would go up, compared to 23% of women. And half of people in their 20s said yes, compared to just 19% of seniors.
Whether you’d go or not, most agree a flight like the Blue Origin one this week does NOT make you an “astronaut” though.
Only 10% of Americans think Katy Perry can call herself an astronaut now.
