I'd rather sail with Captain James Kirk.
I'd settle for any ride into space.

That would be one hell of a ride! I can't imagine the feeling inside a metal capsule with a "heat-shield" when the re-entry through the earth's atmoshpere occurred. In terms of the earliest space pioneers, Alan Sheppard got the best deal - first American in space and he later landed on the moon.
Quote: At the age of 47, he was the oldest astronaut in the space program at the time. Before leaving the lunar surface, Shepard, an avid golfer, unfolded a collapsible golf club and hit two balls. The first landed in a nearby crater, but according to Shepard, the second flew for "miles and miles."

A great movie about the U.S space program that is a bit long but worth watching is The Right Stuff if you've never seen it.
