For the chance to watch the sun rise over Olympus Mons, or maybe take a stroll across the vast plains of the Vastitas Borealis, would you sign on for a one-way flight to Mars?

[mrreaganaut]

Remember, the first colonists get to set up the government!

[dfwgator]

"Get your ass to Mars."

[from occupied ga]

I’d rather keep the money in my pocket and spend it on something I actually want.

[Dr. Sivana]

That would be a fantastic way for our dear president to make history, and be completely unforgettable!

[Dr. Sivana]

I think it hilariously that Charlie Crist would take out a banner ad from a web site called “Mars Daily,” he knows his audience.

[Tax-chick]

This could be an opportunity! Anoreth and Darks, being so small, could be shipped for less cost ...

[RJR_fan]

We had the technology to hoist a 1,000 ton habitat to the moon 60 years ago, but lacked the vision and will. Had Project Orion been pursued, we’d already be on the moon, Mars, and the Jovian system.

[mrreaganaut]

No, that’s a local ad - YOU are Christ’s audience!

Nova was a proposed Nasa followup to the Saturn V rockets that were supposed to take astronauts to Mars.

but lacked the vision and will

This would be the same vision and will that 0 and his fellow Democrats showed in passin the "stimulus bill" and 0bama care? Except for something even more worthless.

"Had Project Orion been pursued, ..."

Those days are over. Now NASA is busy trying to get muslims to feel good about themselves. We have no launch vehicles, we are squandering our know how, but when NASA is done, muslims will feel good about their efforts in space!

But humans will explore:

I can think of several people to whom I’d like to award a one-way trip to Mars.

[Paleo Conservative]

We could send Sheila Jackson Lee.

[NavyCanDo]

For what? Red rocks and red dust? No thanks

Now find that planet where those green-skin Orion girls are, and I'll get my check book.

[Hardraade]

Snoopy??

[from occupied ga]

We could send Sheila Jackson Lee.

I'd be willing to donate a few bucks for that.

[from occupied ga]

Kind of like Antartica except a lot colder, no air, no significant water and about a million times more expensive to get to. We have valuless rocks and dirt here. The space cadets seem to think these is something worthwhile on other plantes. If Mars were made of pure gold it wouldn’t be economically worthwhile going there

[Dr. Sivana]

No, that’s a local ad - YOU are Crist’s audience!

Then Charlie Crist is paying for ads going to folks in Illinois. oh, and the "local" ad on the other side was for Illinois Tax Amnesty, so the server knows where I am.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

No, but there are several members of congress who I would like to send there.
