will they?

They already are from outer-space. That is why the call us 'genitiles'.

In your specific case "genitals".

Some people really like Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part I (1981), but philip347 is under the delusional belief that there was a legitimate plan for a Part II. HotW was released in 1981 when Hollywood was still reeling under the change of the industry exerted by the effects-heavy Star Wars and one side-effect which continues to this day is the substitution of effects for human drama. If Mel Brooks were doing the same joke today, it might be about the "CGI awe-inspiring sight" like at the end of most recent Indiana Jones movie or "CGI 3D."

I for one would like to see Mel Brooks do a musical number set in an exploding paddle-ball factory, with 3-D.

Use the truth table on what I have said before.

Am I stereotyping Jews? No.
Do I wish Jews Harm? This seems to be no.

Do I feel that Israel is stuck in a rut with the Palestinians? This answer seems to be yes.
Do I think that Jews are a super race? I said maybe favored, but not super.

What would be my time scape reference to any say on this subject? It would be the now and the short future.

Is there a mistake that the Jewish State seems to be making that the Nazi state, regardless of political, ideologies is making, out of frustration? Yes, this would be, that Germany was closed in on all sides. That the heads of the Nazi state were frantic, both about potential adversaries and their right to exist and percipitase actions probably taken? Yes, although the Jews had suffered at the hands of the Nazis, they are it seems going in the very same track that caused the Nazis to become unseated.

Is there a viewing source for this?

You bet you. An early Star Trek where Kirk and Spock visited a lesser developed planetary system, which was run by a parallel society similar to the Nazis. The central character was an ex-federation officer, by the name of John Gill.

Gill a federation officer, felt that if a society like the Nazis could be run benignly, that this society would achieve great things.

Gill to the storyline, became drugged as a figure head to where his underlings really ran the fatherland.

The question is sincere. Will the Jews go into outer space?
Do you see about fifteen or more Jewish astronauts getting of a plane at NASA Houston, to train their people so that more of them at least have a chance in space?

Yes, you nut. Jews have been in space since at least April 12, 1985, but here's a "Jewish Moment" from 1996.

"Wherever Jews have wandered, they have taken the Torah with them," said Jeffrey Hoffman, a Jewish astronaut who carried the holy scrolls during the space shuttle Columbia's voyage Feb. 22-March 9.

Let's not forget the Yugo in space program.

Boris Valentinovich Volynov is a Soviet cosmonaut who flew two space missions of the Soyuz programme: Soyuz 5, and Soyuz 21. He was the first Jewish astronaut.

Soyuz 5 was launched on 15 January 1969, crewed by Volynov, Aleksei Yeliseyev, and Yevgeni Khrunov. On 16 January Yeliseyev and Khrunov transferred to Soyuz 4, crewed by Commander Vladimir Shatalov, following an orbital rendezvous and docking. Soyuz 4 undocked from Soyuz 5 the following day and Volynov prepared for a solo re-entry.

Soyuz 5's equipment module failed to properly separate following retrofire due to the misfiring of explosive bolts, and consequently blocked the re-entry heat shield on the base of the descent module. As a result of the added mass of the equipment module, Volynov lost control of Soyuz 5 which began to tumble, finally stabilizing itself with the thinnest part of the spacecraft facing forward. As the assembly entered the atmosphere, the stress and heat on the supporting struts between the modules finally made them burn through and part allowing the equipment module to fall away and burn up on re-entry. Volynov could only wait while the descent module's automatic orientation system tried to regain control, which fortunately it managed to do with the heat shield facing forward.[2][3]

Following re-entry, the module's parachutes deployed only partially, and a failure of the soft-landing retrorockets in the base of the descent module caused a hard landing which almost wrecked the module, and broke some of Volynov's teeth.

Volynov was subsequently awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union on January 22, 1969, and the Order of Lenin.

This question predicates the idea of "Jew" as an identity of the body of a person, instead of a spiritual/cultural practice. It is irrelevant to ask whether Jews will go into out space unless you are asking some substantive question about the relationship between Jewish religious ideology or ethnic culture and space travel. The mere fact that a person labeled as "Jew" takes a ride on a space shuttle into orbit is irrelevant as asking whether people with freckles have gone into space. The exception would be for sociological studies of racism/anti-semitism influencing astronaut-selection within some space-program. But you do not frame your question like this, so it is unclear why you would be interested in such a question.

Now, "will the administrators of the Israeli government pursue a space program and if so, how and why?" might be a more valid question. You might also want to ask if there aren't more interesting and effective ways for people holding Israeli citizenship to participate in and contribute to space-exploration.

This could actually be part of a wider research project into the role ethnicity plays in science and space-exploration. Currently I understand that there are several different moon-exploration projects going on, most identified according to national/ethnic identity, but I heard there is also one by Google that does not identify itself with any ethnic or national status (thank goodness there's at least one!).

If Judaism is defined as a theological culture in which things like (national/ethnic) pride and jealousy are defined as sinful, then you could define Jewish space exploration as any space-program efforts that are designed with the intent to do God's will through the exploration of space. Space exploration and technological developments designed with ethnic/national competition in mind, which waste resources by failing to cooperate with others with a common interest out of a desire for ethnic autonomy would be sinful, I believe, according to Judaism but also Christianity and presumably Islam as well.
