My main point is that since my wife and I actually argued about whether or not I could go up in the space shuttle–and let me emphasize that there is no way that I would ever be doing that in the first place–I find myself reluctant to say too much about the sensibleness of anybody else’s arguments. To any particular couple, a shaved head might be entirely trivial, and it might not be. Who can tell? Maybe not even them.

Is Richard Branson still planning private rides into space? Then again, didnt one of the private test rockets just crash and burn recently? No thanks! I’d fight with my DH too if he wanted to go up into space. I already got him off the NASA track (which he was on ) when he left the military to marry me, so that might be a sore subject.
Spacex just launched two satellites yesterday.
Speaking of Richard Branson.

Jym, you are correct. The ship has crashed (amazingly, one of the pilots survived!), and apparently, the program will continue…

This is the Mars One mission I was talking about:

Well I am with Hunt’s wife on the space shuttle thing. While DH and I normally would not restrict a trip the other had planned with friends, even I would draw the line on him announcing he was going into space. Just too unpredictable and quite frankly irresponsible for a man with a wife and family to do on a whim.
DH would not have gone into space-- just would have worked on stuff from mother earth. Thats as close as I would be comfortable with it.
Maybe this is where you use the line, “If you plan to go into space make it the one way trip to Mars because I don’t want to see you back.” 
I do want to see him back 
I don’t want to see him go! The space movies are the closest he can come at this point. He loved interstellar.
Space intrigues me as well. I do spend some time contemplating what is “out there.” But those questions are not really going to be answered by going on the space shuttle. The scope of the shuttle is far too limited. I can get a good view of what the earth looks like from space by looking at satellite pictures and can get the same for many of the planets within our solar system. As technology advances perhaps we will be able to view what lies in the great depths of the universe. But given the fact that our physical bodies cannot survive in outer space without the use of cumbersome equipment, makes me think that perhaps it was not in the “original design” that humans venture that far. Maybe as we evolve that will change?
Gosh, talking about a thread going off the rails. From a shaved head to space travel!
My wife would definitely not let me go into space with Anne Hathaway.
I once fixed the air conditioning, unannounced. My wife was cool with it.
Heh. This reminded me of the commercial (for Sears?) in which the sweating wife suggests to the husband that he call Sears about getting a new air conditioner. “I’ll call soon,” he says. “You’ll call now,” she says. That’s what I call good communication.
There was a billboard along the tollway I travel almost daily:
“Your wife is SOOOO Hot!”
It was for an air conditioning company.
This is so interesting. I would totally let dh go to space as long as all his affairs were in order.
I had to double check the thread title to be sure I was in the correct one! LOL
Well with your username the recent turn in this thread lands you in the correct one!
LOL! Got me!
My husband is more obsessed with his hair than I am. He is upset about losing it. I’d love him to shave it…that’s hot!
Fix the air conditioning and your wife was cool with it? Was that pun intended?
Well I fixed the toilet myself so we’d be more flush. I didn’t want a drain on our savings…
