Obama ?
So, we can send all the Mexican sheetrock hangers, they won't mind........
Let’s hope that all the liberals sign up, then they will leave the rest of us alone.
My husband would go if he were chosen.
He desires to learn what no one else has known.
Honestly, I would go.. Divorced and no family left... I am curious.
Ship every damn one of the idiots!!!
If we send them, one day we will have to kill them.
The only way this would be possible is if we first dug an extensive tunnel system on Mars, complete with enough infrastructure. There would have to be a lake of underground water ice, a bunch of nuclear reactors, a significant botanical garden, etc. Even the bacteria would have to be imported.
The best way to begin would be by “enhancing” the Martian atmosphere. There is an opportunity for that in 2014, with a gigantic comet passing near Mars, if it could be diverted to hitting Mars. Comet Siding Spring may be as large as 50km in diameter, and who result in a huge amount of water and other gases added to its atmosphere.
Going to Mars is like a trip to the town called Morrow. Going to Morrow is always a one way trip since you can leave today but never come back to Day.
Can I submit an application on someone else’s behalf, without their consent?
I’d like to make up the list of 78,000 names to go.
Starting with test flights this year!!!
I’m not applying. Every time I go to Mars my luggage ends up on Saturn.
Yes, if I could convince my husband to go with me.
Why not?
I expect that many of those selected will change their minds rather than go through with it.
Nope not me. Not going, thanks. There might be a peaceful race of tall blue aliens there and we would be invading their planet...and for what? unobatamium? ;-)
I’ve joked about living on Mars now, but this place really isn’t even close at over 9200 feet, dry, windy and cold. The 78,000 applicants are each either joking with no intent of going or insane. One malfunction on Mars, and they’ll be done.
Hmmm. On second thought, after reading some responses from folks willing to take one-way trips to Mars, maybe offers of vacations to Venus would be useful...and of course, far easier...
