I wish I had a space ship.
Seriously.

I would love to take it for a spin out to Titan and back.
It would have to have a cup holder though...

And a fast engine. That's important too.

2. As long at the crop-circulator attachment wasn't to expensive, hell yeah.
I'd spend more time buzzing airport towers in Alaska though.....

3. And seatbelts. Always wear your seatbelt.

No, no argument; I know you're a good driver, I'm just worried about the other guy.

8. A very fast engine.
That's definitely important.

Does it have artificial gravity? If so, I'd love to tag along. :7

Without artificial G I won't survive lift off or re-entry. :(

10. I'm a lead foot. I never stop accelerating. (or decelerating).
And since acceleration is indistinguishable from gravity, you'd be fine!

:D

13. No need for clumsy ships
just get yourself a proper environmental suit to survive the conditions on Titan and Freecast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farcaster#Freecasting)

Four easy steps:

1. Learning the Language of the Dead
2. Learning the Language of the Living
3. Listening to the Music of the Spheres
4. Taking the First Step

And before you can blink you are where you want/need/should be. ;)

14. What is this? Tesseracting, like in a wrinkle in time?
What if I teleport into a mountain or a pile of manure or something?

15. No this is different
it is not a forcing it is a 'being' ... if you can learn and take those steps you will be where you want to be, so unless you want to be in a pile of manure or inside a mountain you wont end up there.
