The spacecraft has something known as an "airlock." Quite useful for disposing of waste matter.
Bagpipes optional.

They need to Shanghai the homeless like in days of old.
Time someone went to Mars and back this world would not be here.
So, by the time they get to Mars they will all be gay?..............

Well, any guy that wears his hair in a pig tail is suspect.........
Uh ... no.
In a long sea voyage of centuries past, unless you were a slave chained below deck, you always could go topside to catch a breath of fresh sea air. Or to hurl over the rail. For a trip to mars you’re talking +/- nine months (each way) living in a walk-in closet, with no relief for the claustrophobics.
Which begs the question, what preparation have they made for disposing of the body if someone croaks before they get back to the Third Rock. Because if they do this long enough, it’s bound to happen.
Honestly, he will have no shortage of volunteers. I wouldn’t do it but there are thousands of people out there who’ve dreamed of space travel and would jump at the chance to be part of the first crew to Mars

I’d go if there were no democrats allowed
And as long as the Holodecks are working, claustrophobia won’t be an issue.
A city on Mars? Not gonna happen.
“They need to Shanghai the homeless like in days of old.”
They did that to the convicts. There were no “homeless” back then. Those were called “bums”.
Elon Musk knows a lot more about the current state of technology than I do.
However, what’s needed is a continuous propulsion system which would cut this journey down I believe, to a few weeks or months.
They’ve discussed concepts for that for decades.
Leaving out protective lead rooms for economy could cause everyone to croak from a solar flare shot in their general direction or even on Mars after getting there. It’s nasty out there beyond the moon and Earth’s magnetic field.
Under certain circumstances, I’d go ... for a round trip. And at the end:
“We pray for one last landing
on the globe that gave us birth
To rest our eyes on fleecy skies
and the cool green hills of Earth.”
Props to anyone who recognizes the verse.
True.
I’d say too easy, but that would show my age.
I think you should stay and let the Democrats go.
You know.
And I know you know.
And that’s enough.
