£1 million or a trip to the moon?
 
It was a question that just came up on a quiz programme. Which would you choose?

greedrex 01.05.2010 06:04 PM

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Dr. Eugene Felikson 01.05.2010 06:05 PM

I agree with greedrex. Fuck the moon.

EVOLghost 01.05.2010 06:06 PM

I'll take that trip to the moon if I get to stay there for more than like 1 day or two and I get to bring/do all the drugs I want.


if not....then I"ll take the cash.

pokkeherrie 01.05.2010 06:08 PM

fuck the moon.

i'd take that £1 million and travel the earth.

demonrail666 01.05.2010 06:12 PM

but you'd probably get a lot more than a £1 million as a result of going to the moon. say in book rights, etc. eeww, this quiz is clever

!@#$%! 01.05.2010 06:13 PM

fuck a dead rock. gimme vegas and pussy and victory.

probably only a multimillionaire would choose the trip since for them "it's only money"

go to new york. human faces are a lot more interesting than barren motherfucking nature.

trust me. i've lived in the moon. or its equivalent.

 


fuck that shit really. buy yourself some quality whores.

EVOLghost 01.05.2010 06:18 PM

It's not just being on the moon. yeah it might get pretty fuckin' boring...but being able to see the Earth and even just outter space from a different perspective is good enough for me.

Pookie 01.05.2010 06:20 PM

The moon of course you bunch of soulless predictable money-grubbing twats.

there's already pictures! perspective, schpective (or something). you wanna fuck quality whores, i tell you. the kind that got the new york governor booted out of office. that will give you perspective.

I dunno....maybe. Post a pic. I'll let you know.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 01.05.2010 06:24 PM

A moon full of whores might just be worth it. Especially if they're lonely moon-whores.

EDIT: I did post a pic, guess it didn't work. Shame, since it practically made the post.

pbradley 01.05.2010 06:26 PM

To help leave the field of comparison, I read somewhere that a company was going to begin selling trips to the moon for 100 million dollars a pop.

pokkeherrie 01.05.2010 06:28 PM

You can put away £50,000 as a long-term deposit in the bank. That will buy you a trip to space in 10-15 years... not to the moon, but you'll still be able to float around and watch the earth from a distance.

The other £950,000 (or a lot of it) I'd enjoy now while I'm young.

I remember that. Wasn't that one Virgin company that named an airplane after Jefferson Airplane suppose to start selling trips to outer space? I think it was likek 500g's or soemthin' like that. If that's the case I just might take the money and run.

EVOLghost 01.05.2010 06:31 PM

ps. 100 mil is too much to just go to the moon. Fuck they better have a sweet ass space hotel.

Trasher02 01.05.2010 06:34 PM

Fuck money, I'll take the trip to the moon thank you very much.

pbradley 01.05.2010 06:36 PM

Personally, I'm all for the demystification of space. It would be something like the scene in the matrix: take the red pill and see the truly meaningless material insignificance of the world (and then be the first to commit suicide in space) or take the blue pill and continue on in ignorance with a million in tow.

ah, someone who's smart with money! that's a good move.

here's a better one-- deposit the whole thing and just live off the interest for the rest of your life-- permanent vacation!!

i'd live off a backpack and keep notes of my lsd-addled travels.

pokkeherrie 01.05.2010 06:44 PM

I could travel and live off a backpack for a very long time, but surely not for the rest of my life.... I'd probably have to give in and use some of the money to buy a house at some point.

that actually sounds quite exciting.

phoenix 01.05.2010 06:49 PM

virgin galactic trips are only like 200k, but they don't go to the moon only the edge of the atmosphere. So.. Yot could do that 5 times, or once.. And still have 800k to spare

i was talking shit when i said that.

in truth, i'd be happy with a modest beach house, a small new york apartment, and time to write. but i wouldn't wanna buy a house-- repairs, property taxes, zoning disputes-- let that shit be somebody else's problem, not mine. i'll rent, and when i'm tired of the place, i'll move to the next one. owning shit = a big pain in the ass.

travel is good though.

I don't mean that solely as the act, though. I also mean just returning to Earth and finding myself incapable of returning myself into the psychology. Cultural shock on a metaphysical level.

floatingslowly 01.05.2010 07:18 PM

you get what you pay for. have fun on yr budget trip to the moon! pack for cold weather.

SuperCreep 01.05.2010 07:42 PM

the moon.

i don't really need that kind of money.

pbradley 01.05.2010 07:48 PM

I really need that kind of money.

pbradley 01.05.2010 07:52 PM

Sure, maybe in the sense that nobody needs money.

Pookie 01.05.2010 07:54 PM

In the sense that nobody needs £1 million will do.

pbradley 01.05.2010 07:57 PM

Fine.

I really need money more than I need a trip to the moon. The amount can be less than a million.

static-harmony 01.05.2010 08:24 PM

Keep the money, and like pokkherrie said it will be cheaper later.

jon boy 01.05.2010 08:30 PM


 


take the fucking money!

Toilet & Bowels 01.06.2010 04:07 AM

going into outer space would be amazing but i'm not sure how much fun the moon would be once the novelty of being able to do really big jumps wore off. if i had a million quid i could do more or less whatever i want for the rest of my life.
