As billionaire CEOs look to the stars and space tourism draws closer to becoming a reality, we want to know: would you travel to space?

I would instead travel the African continent.

– Jennifer Futter

I’d love to visit the ISS! To see the planet from a different perspective and feel insignificant. To see the one place that we can live, the vivid greens and blues contrasted by the inky black of space. That would be an adventure!

– Matt Carter

The only space I wish to travel to is Paternoster, with the wide ocean in front of me, or to the Drakensberg with its endless vistas.

– Martin Human

Nope, I haven't even fully explored my country yet, nor Africa, let alone Earth. Why would I want to go into space?

– Andrew Brown

I’d want the billionaires to help the starving people in Africa, instead.

– Stefani Coetzee

I would go in a heartbeat.
