SciFi Question of the Day: Which would you choose… 3 weeks living and working on the ISS, or 3 years working (on-screen if that’s what you want) on your favorite SciFi television show? (Assume you’re being paid but not getting rich)

Facebook Answers:

Joel Moore ISS fo’ Sho’

Geri Bressler Television show, definitely. If I won’t get on a plane, the chances of me getting on a bomb with questionable directional control are nil.

Gwendolyn Wilkins TV show

Josh McCusker ISSS

Josh McCusker Oops. Got carried away there

Derri Herbert TV – not least because if I got 3 years on Firefly THERE’D BE MORE FIREFLY!

Shawn Svare TV show! DR. Who

Charles Root Jr ISS, by a country mile! The novelty of working on a TV show would wear off in about a day. Being one of only 122 other people out of 7 Billion that have worked on the ISS, puts you in the History Books.

Brooke Johnson 3 weeks on the ISS. most SciFi shows are all done in CG, so the only cool part would be working with the actors. but being in space, now that’s something awesome.

Melissa Walsh Working on my favorite scifi show. I wouldn’t want to work at the international space station if given the choice because I value daily showers, nature walks, and good food too much. Also, with the scifi show, I get to meet some really cool people.

Katey Springle Lempka The latter for me. Paul Murphy Gimme the space station.

Jim Hanson Favorite show. 3 weeks on the ISS gets me to schools talking to school children. 3 years on a tv show gets me on the convention / dvd commentary / audio book circuit forevar.

Ashley Wade Space Station please. The memories I’d have and perspective it would give me far outweigh the possibilities and meaning I’d get from a TV show.

Clarissa Ryan The ISS! Nothing could replace being in space. I mean, yeah, I’d love to work on Doctor Who, but let’s face it — half (or more) of the people working on Doctor Who would love to be able to visit the ISS!

I would love to hear what you think! Even if you are reading this post a year or more after publishing, I hope you will leave a comment with your own ideas on this topic.
