When I am old and about to die, I want to be launched into space. I want to be put in a minimal spacesuit and jettisoned out a space door. But, I don't want to end up in orbit. I want to float away and look around. I want to see the earth from far above and see all the stars without an atmosphere in the way.

The trickiest part will be calculating the amount of oxygen to take with me so I die of old age instead of suffocating to death. My best guess is three days. I'll probably have to verify that with a doctor though. They'll run some tests and stuff like that, but I've never fully trusted when doctors give people a certain length of time to live. People always seem to fight it out a little longer. And, since I'll be doing something really cool, I can see myself trying really hard not to die too soon. So, I'll add a couple days to whatever the doctors say and bring plenty of water and astronaut ice cream, too.

The last days of my life will be spent thinking about my life and the people I love. That's what I'd be doing in a hospital bed anyway, but I'd prefer to do it in space.
