Not for me, but I know a few I would happily wave off on a one way trip to Mars...

We should ask GM's Mike Devereaux or Alastair Cook (captain, England cricket team)
if the thought (going to Mars) crossed their mind's. cheers, Maka

Would be really hard to do. I wonder if they would regret it straight away.

It would be an amazing experience, but leaving everything and spending the rest of your life there with a bunch of complete strangers is a huge hurdle. Apparently they already have several thousand people singed up.

All of the people signing up for a one way trip to mars,
i don't think they realize............... every waking minute of every day will be used to try and stay alive, there will be none of this loafing on the coach watching footy **** ............every single day will be a battle to stay alive, if stuff happens the next day.......... there will be no rescue team. |

This would be the trip of a lifetime if it weren't for so many human based limitations.
ie: oxygen, pressure, gravity, solar radiation, etc. |

That'd certainly be one way to pass the time, looks like it'd be good tiny bikini weather there too...

You might be right Uber, and I take my hat off to them if thats the case,
but I would expect once more detail comes out for there to be a lot of cold feet among the many that have said they want to go as it gets toward crunch time. I would love to see it happen, and agree it needs to be done sooner rather than later, not only because we are trashing the place , but because of the numbers, from what little ive picked up from our clever dudes, our little earth has a history of violent changes over time and it has had a relatively calm 2 or 3 hundred thousand years, if the pundits are right we are going to come out of that calm time at some stage in future (it might be starting to happen already)and we might face a dinosaur extinction event regardless of what we do on our little rock. |
