Stephen Hawking plans to see space - Propeller.com http://science.propeller.com/story/2007/01/07/stephen-hawking-plans-to-see-space Prof Stephen Hawking is planning a space flight. The world's best-known scientist, who is 65 today, told The Daily Telegraph: "This year I'm planning a zero-gravity flight and to go into space in 2009." http://media-images.nscpcdn.com/media/ns-logo-rss.gif Propeller.com - Stephen Hawking plans to see space http://www.propeller.com en-us Copyright 2006-2007 Propeller Propeller.com <![CDATA[Comment: If he survives it will be glorious....]]> http://science.propeller.com/story/2007/01/07/stephen-hawking-plans-to-see-space/comment/526418 http://science.propeller.com/story/2007/01/07/stephen-hawking-plans-to-see-space/comment/526418 If he survives it will be glorious.

If he doesn't it will be the best metaphysic way to go for such exceptional man.

You came all the way into this blog just to put down Stephen Hawking-- as harmless and valuable a human as ever existed. What motivates you? I bet you're a real study.

Poet!

If for no other reason than to protect the mind that is Hawkins.

We need poets in Space. I am a poet, and my experience in Space will bring beauty to the world I can see it now, I'm already there, yet an actual journey will confirm it.

My nose is too brown! I can't even take my own self seriously. LOL

No space for me today.

Dang!

He'll be a part of the record of science for all of our 'evers', (annals), but I like your 'heart of science' better.

There was a monk who was once asked what his greatest misfortune in life was and he answered, "having a body".

I can only imagine that this brilliant mind will be free of his body if only for a short time, to experience this reality in a way he hasn't yet been able to. Good on him..

And I mean it as the Supreme Power of the Universe! One certainly could get the feeling that one gets closer to the Power going way above the Earth's surface. As others have said, there may not be anyone more deserving than Stephen Hawking. Anyone that bold is bound to be controversial, but us confortable and lazy ones could easily get jealous of someone that motivated and brilliant.

Expecially, since this damned multiple-myeloma has left me a cripple. But Steven reminds me of a scientific contrarian, who enjoys swimmkng against the tide, if for no other reason than, it gives him noteriety and herds the press to his door.

Not an appealing personality trait.
