NASA Is Preparing A 17 Year Old Girl To Become The First Human On Mars

Hope she is a Liberal. She will be 45 by the time she gets there if at all.

If she's smart, she'll have any kids she intends to have BEFORE going out in space and being exposed to radiation.

[PapaBear3625]

However, I would not send this young lady, or any other person for that matter, on this mission, because the technology to safely accomplish it simply does not exist.

The technology to safely cross the Atlantic Ocean did not exist when the first settlers came to the New World. They came anyway. Men, women, and children. Almost half of the Mayflower colonists died the first winter, many of them women and children.

[chris37]

If you want to send her to die alone in space, then, by all means, send her.

[PapaBear3625]

I really doubt they will be sending anybody on a solo journey to Mars. If she goes, it will be as part of a crew.

[chris37]

How is she going to be the “first human” on Mars then?

Wouldn’t she then be among the “first humans” on Mars?

Is the crew just going to let her walk out first because she’s a girl?

I’m not seeing it.

[GingisK]

I would be very happy to do so. Alas and alack, I am too old. She is not. I would support her and others like her in any way I could. If you have hope for the future, you would do the same.

[GingisK]

You would have stopped expansion westward of the Mississippi, wouldn’t you? Space IS the future of mankind. It is hard for me to believe that anyone holding a cell phone can think the way you do.

[chris37]

Hope is neither a plan, a strategy or a technology.

I would support her by telling her not to let a bunch of starry eyed fools kill her by firing her off into the void of space.

[chris37]

Apples and oranges, man.

The technology to expand west of the Mississippi existed at that time.

The technology for successful human travel to mars does not.

[raiderboy]

As a conservative , I will do everything I can do to defund this futile effort.

[GingisK]

Technology to go to the moon in 1960 didn’t exist, either. By 1969 it did. It is just a matter of choosing a goal, funding it, and doing it. A Mars mission is feasible.

[GingisK]

As a conservative, I will do everything in my power to get this funded.

Are you thinking that anyone would send someone out there just to kill them? It didn't happen in the 1960s, and it won't happen in the near future. If anything, NASA is too careful.

[GingisK]

As a conservative, I will do everything within my power to see that this mission gets funded.

[chris37]

Color me highly skeptical.

[SunkenCiv]

IOW, she won't ever be going to Mars. She'll probably end up on the View or some such ****.

[Grimmy]

My initial thought was that she was being groomed to play the part played by the “cabin boy” back in the day of sail.

[SunkenCiv]

My first thought was, she's being used for PR purposes.

[GingisK]

OK, I’ll get out my crayons. ;-D

[chris37]

LOL :D

[hopespringseternal]

Poor girl. If she is hitching her wagon to NASA there is no chance she will ever get to Mars.
