    Only if I can bring stuff to entertain me, like internet, TV, and my DS. And stuff to read. And there better be internet access. Otherwise it would be very boring and people on PC and Facebook would think I fell off the face of the earth.

    But if I can get the entertainment options, it sure beats working and not getting a fraction of that cash :) And not seeing my family would be a HUGE plus for me.

    I'd do it without a second thought. I would be losing a year of education, but with all the money I'll have, I can comfortably attend college without having to worry about finances getting in the way and worry about work onto of existing school work. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have the top-of-the-line technological devices either, and perhaps a Ferrari. ;]

    I think it was around the night this thread was created, but I had a dream that I actually was in space. Something about me chasing around my dad who took away my laptop for some reason. In any case, I wanted the laptop back because I was desperate to contact my friends or just do something with it. The feeling of despair and loneliness in the vast emptiness of space within the confines of lifeless chrome metal made it one of the worst and more memorable dreams I've had in a while.

    To cut to the point, no, I don't think I could do it. That's 365 days without any human contact at all. I never ever thought I would be the kind of person to say this, but I would miss my friends and family too much to be without them for so long. As much as I like entertainment and clearing my backlog, I enjoy talking and ranting to other people about it just as much if not more. Monetary value can't make up for that.

    Nope. I'd rather stay in touch with all the people I love and care about. That's not worth a billion to me. :(

    plus think of all the things that could go wrong! with my luck the world will explode while i'm in space and then everyone i know... gone :(

    Yes, I would. I would not give up the chance to go into SPACE and see the world from up there; it would just be so amazing to see. If I had entertainment, then I wouldn't get bored too much I don't think, I am a very independent person so I think I would be alright, but you can never know for certain.​

    One word: NEVER!
    If I get sucked into a black hole, my brain will have a volcano forever erupting.
    I'm too young to go to space and even when I get old enough; I will never do that for a billion dollars. I'm gonna find my own way to get a trillion million [insert currency here] I don't care if it's for a trillion blah whatever. Who would want to spend a year in a place with little oxygen?
