Do you want to go to Mars?

[Dajjal]

Too late, the selection of candidates is down to the last one hundred. Over two hundred thousand people volunteered to make a one way trip to Mars to live the rest of their lives in a tin can, because there is no way back. One wonders what will happen if their supply rockets do not arrive on time to bring food and oxygen.

The lunatic fringe is slowly collapsing in on the supposedly normal core of society. I'm all for sending them to Mars but the moon is closer so I say we test their appetite for this sort of thing there first.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

I hope they sterilize the women or men first.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

A few of those candidates already look like Martians.

I believe they are planning to send an equal number of men and women. Presumably they are expected to pair off. If they also breed it will certainly complicate their lives.

Ha! I just watched a video of two of them who said they don't need sex, and would be happy to masturbate/

I would consider it, if they developed tech that allowed further, efficient exploration of Mars, as opposed to just camping in one spot for the rest of your life as a guina pig.​

The plan is, to live in small capsules and gradually build more of them and join them together, Then to build greenhouses to grow crops. If it ever happens then the first people to go would spend all their time building the base, and they would not be able to go very far from the site. A few years down the line there might be a viable colony that has a structured habitat. But in all probability it will never even get off the ground.

Did the first people who crossed the oceans expect a 100% chance of survival and return?

I all for this as long as they are volunteers. It shows outside the box thinking.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids.
In fact it's cold as hell.
And there's no one there to raise them
if you did.

 

[JoeMoma]

I eat too much to go.

 

[Igrok_]

Why they look so happy? Brainwashed? Kamikadze?

Maybe Iran should go on the Mars or further?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Why don't terraform Mars in advance by leaving an SUV or 2 running there all day and night. The extra CO2 will certain add to the ManMade Global Warming and bring the temperature up to -75

 

[BullKurtz]

Let's kidnap Luddley and Asslips and "volunteer" them to go.

Clare is hawt, one looks like a lesbian the other must be a TG

Here,Here!!!!
We can call the colony "New Africa"

How long will it be before the new colony has to partition its borders and form countries?

 

[Big Black Dog]

Going to Mars is in the top 10 dumbest ideas I have ever heard of. Who in their right mind would want to do that?

 

[rightwinger]

I really don't want to go to Mars.....

But I would like to see Uranus
