"Gateway" by Frederick Pohl. Terran astronauts doing a routine mining exploration in the asteroid belt discover an abandoned space terminal. Thousands of ships, lined up and ready to fly. Volunteers spend their fortunes on a chance to fly one of the ships. Maybe the mission will outlast your food supply, or drop you in the heart of a supernova, or leave you on a desolate world for a thousand years...

For while you're waiting on the show.
