Mmm. . . I'll try fried worms if they taste like beef jerky or potato chips.

Dunno, might be tasty!
Drinking water made from urine.

This bothers me not at all. Doesn't your city have water reclamation? I'll wager most of the water on the planet has been through a biological system at one point. If the reclamation process results in chemically pure H2O, I've got no problem with it at all.
Threat of space shuttle explosions.

There is some risk, I'll admit. No so much explosions, but disastrous accidents. OTOH, the freeway isn't exactly a safe place either.
Living in a tin can for months on end.

But oh, the scenery! There was a time when I'd have gone for it in a minute if I had a chance. Ain't going to happen now.

I will not eat bugs. No way, no how.

I'm sure my city does have some sort of water reclamation, but as long as I don't see it, I don't think about it. So to me, my water is just water and never came from anywhere else.

I'm not really as worried about explosions or accidents as I am about the water thing. Knowing about it and seeing it would be weird for me.

If I could have all bottled water and MREs that aren't bugs or anything weird, I could deal with the tin can if I got to see the scenery. Especially if I got to try that whole no gravity thing.

Really, I'm just especially squeamish about what I knowingly eat or drink.

Don't see 127 hours...

Seriously, with the water reclamation, I think once you experienced it, it wouldn't seem that icky. It would seem like any other water. It would BE like any other water. The rest of it is what it is.
