"Mars ... I'll drink to that."

Yeah, I would imagine that getting drunk would be one of the ways to pass the time during the journey. But keep in mind that the colonists would be anticipating a colder climate, and would probably take advantage of the ice around them for some space-enhanced winter sports.

Ice skating, tobogganing, perhaps even arranging that zero-gee swimming pool during transit. If the 'berg is spun for gravity, just put it at the center.

Truly, the trip of a lifetime.

I would like to offer my services for the first trip. (If someone could please tell me what my services ARE!)

I am more of an Aries than a Taurus, so I get bored easily...

[Ummm...help me out, here...]

Um. I was quite the swimmer in my day, but I can't say which I would fear more: zero-gee pools (without SCUBA gear), or frozen pools (any gravity.
