    100,000 ppl want to go to Mars and not come back

    edited February 1 in Chit-Chat
    More than 100,000 people are eager to make themselves at home on another planet. They've applied for a one-way trip to Mars, hoping to be chosen to spend the rest of their lives on uncharted territory, according to an organization planning the manned missions.

    The Mars One project wants to colonize the red planet, beginning in 2022. There are financial and practical questions about this venture that haven't been clarified. Will there be enough money? Will people really be able to survive on Mars? But these haven't stopped some 30,000 Americans from signing up.

    if the person of your dreams asked you to go to mars with them would you go?

      All 100, 000 of them probably hate their lives and were going to kill themselves anyway so figured they may as well try another planet.

      HELL YES!!

      just imagine, i would lose about 150 pounds instantly!!

      My initial thought is yes but then I came to my senses. It would be really amazing but way too much risk for little gain.

      Probably not...but is an intriguing thought.

      I'm a sci-fi, space geek. I'd go in a second!
    • Posts: 8,138 Member

      Hell yea!!! Do you even understand how awesome it would be to be one of the first people to live on Mars, and its GOING to happen..so why not be on that list of people that got to first?
    • Posts: 232 Member
      Maybe!

      This. lol. Wait, do I get my own spaceship to go out in? Or is it like retirement living...once you're on the compound, you're stuck...see, I'd have to think that over...lol

      Should anyone here get to go, Dr. Who teaches us two things. 1. Take a bicycle and 2. Don't drink the water...for the love of God, don't drink the water! :P

      It would help speed up weight loss because you would instantly weigh around just one third of your weight.

      To explore a new frontier where John Crater lived? Of course I would go.

      It would depend on the accommodations.

      Can I take my bike?
    • Posts: 4,052 Member
      Yes. Yes yes yes yes YES.

      And I wouldn't need the person of my dreams to do it. Even if the mission is a failure, the fact that humanity TRIED it would be a damn worthy thing to be a part of.

      How can I eat paleo on Mars?

      Is there a Martian diet book and exercise DVD I need to purchase?
