Imagine you are traveling in a rocket through interstellar space. Are you doing that?

Nice try, good enough for an alternative answer, I think. But, let's continue, shall we?

And then, you run out of fuel. Only kidding. - _-

Good. Now, think of a number (still traveling in a rocket) from 1 to 9. Did you think of a number?

That you are. Nice try.

Here we go again (it seems we have two players).

As I am typing this, I am both imagining myself traveling in a rocket through interstellar space and thinking of a number from 1 to 9. Neither of these things is likely to remain true for much longer as I have paid work I should begin in the next few minutes. :)

Excellent! (Just wait longer.)

So, now you are traveling in a rocket through interstellar space, in your imagination, of course, whilst thinking of a one-digit number. The riddle's question is obvious: “Whatever for?!”; and so is the answer.
