Artemis II Is Not Safe to Fly (Idle Words)

I am very not brave but I'd volunteer. The trip is far more awesome than anything I have planned for the rest of my life. And if the shield fails on reentry it would only hurt for a few seconds. So if the crew and the backups and their backups read this and have second thoughts, ping me.

I think they were saying they would sign up just for the experience, even if it's unnecessary to the program.

This is an interesting comment -- your life is precious brother, you might have something in store down the road :)

My theory is that this is something I’d say/do aged 20, and laugh at aged 60.
I’m slightly closer to 60 and am into the ‘No’ zone.
