My guess would be that a crew of 1 man and say, 3-5 women would be ideal.

In the interest of science and mankind I humbly volunteer.

The proposed expedition will require humans to spend longer in close proximity with each other in a confined capsule than ever before. Some psychologists believe an all-female crew would be best suited to such a mission.

I say sell the whole idea to TV and have 'em fund it and produce it as "Survivor - Mars". Each week of the trip HAL picks a loser to shoot out the photon torpedo tube.

NO NO NO

MEN are from Mars.

WOMEN are from Venus.

Did they consider there would be zero gravity pillowfights on the voyage to Mars?

The solution is we will send wimpy girly-men and robots to Mars.

Somehow submarine crews seem to survive similar conditions.

But somehow I think the proposition that women get along better together flies in the face of every catfight I've seen.

Even at its closest approach to Earth, every couple of years, the red planet is at least 35 million miles away. It takes roughly six months to get to Mars and once there, the explorers will need to wait 550 days for the orbits on Earth and Mars to allow an easy trip home.

Don't forget to bring the trail mix, and this could make a good "National Lampoon's Martian Vacation".

Yes, there is the allure of space, but this isn't like Christopher Columbus setting sail for the New World. It's strictly BYOOS (bring your own oxygen supply) on Mars, not to mention water, food, life support systems.....

It's a cool idea on paper, and I wouldn't mind at all getting to choose who gets sent.:)

PC drivel.

Why is it then that MEN were the first to sail around the world singlehanded (no crew on the ship)?

Nuclear subs, men only. etc.etc.
