Would you go knowing the chances of return were virtually non existent? My wife and I were talking about it last night. We both decided that we would go if the other has already passed away and we were still healthy enough to carry out a one way mission.

No Rats to Mars - I agree

Let's tell the Rats to colonize the Sun - tell them their Solar powered cars will love the Sun. Tell them all they need is SPF 500000000000000000000000000000000000 Sun block.
