This list seems more like a list of things you’ve enjoyed doing in your life. A lot of these things don’t seem important enough for everyone to do before they die.

The Space Shuttle thing is great but I recommend doing it on a night launch. The night lights up like it’s the middle of the afternoon. Very cool.
