Is there anyway we can sign Nancy Pelosi up?

I sure don't mean to quibble with you, GrandJediMasterYoda, but don't you think President You Didn't Build That ought to take precedence?

My husband would go in a heart beat just to be part of the scientific community.
He was very disappointed that he did not meet the age qualifiers for the trip but he did meet the scientific areas.

See my post #14.

She'd likely be in my top 10.

Not necessarily, unless you consider scientist and explores mental.
My husband would go just to be part of the scientific discovery.

If it fails they can always make the trip part of Obamacare’s death panels.

Khan, hell! Send Obama. He isn’t as bright as Khan and lacks the interpersonal skills.

I can understand being willing to give your life for science. Really I can. But clearly, living one's entire life in the limited social and physical environment contemplated in the article would be a guarantee of some type of debilitating mental breakdown in the end.

Human nature can only be suppressed for so long, and there is nothing about this living environment that would be consistent with human nature over a lifetime.

And by the way, would you stay married to your husband if he were selected for this trip?

So Dems are disqualified then?

Oh no. Not at all. In fact, I think we should send them all there to establish their perfect Utopian (i.e. totalitarian) society.

Legos are cool and all, but I’d probably build my colony out of something else.

A village of Legos! They should build it on the moon and bring back the cheese.
