So you want to go into space? WHY?! (No, really - it's sort of a

it's lovely right where we are.)
Not convinced? GOOD! People have been dreaming about space travel
for centuries - there's something amazing about the idea of leaving
our planet behind and setting out to explore the Universe - there's
so much we still don't know.
