Mars colonists wanted

dutch company called mars one plans to set up a colony on mars by 2023

its a one way ticket and you will be spending the next ten years preparing for the trip and living permanently on mars once you get there

only qualification is you must be at least 18 yrs old



so question is if you were to be chosen to go would you accept ??




i absolutely 100% would go and yes while it would make you famous for being one of the first humans ( that we know of ) to ever live off of earth and make permament residence on another planet or celestial body that would not be my reasoning for going


the experience of going and settling a new planet would be awesome to do and accomplish things that have never been done


im not close to most of my family and even if i was id still go, currently have no kids so i wouldnt have to worry about that



the only downside is the possible death at any time but for me it would be worth the risk

It's what WF prays for every night. A red planet.

Colonizing Mars is like colonizing the Milky Way, except with almonds.

I wonder if this sort of thing will attract a few people with mental illness.

I'm sure it will

but there's very specific criteria to qualify

[thepaulo]

You have ten years to prepare but you're going to have to be like Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters....Your life is fucked on Earth so why not.

you all look so fit, yes you have proven that we can survive on mars!
yea, the rabbits we caught didn't hurt either

[thepaulo]

I have a friend that thinks Obama is to blame for the reason we suck and that we're not going to Mars. I don't know what to think. It's too confusing.

According to the article, only 4 people will go initially, to pioneer, then the next 4 come two years later, then possibly larger groups. They'll have to bring all the food they'll need with them and their water will come from Mars (I hope it's like Earth water and their bodies can process it).

I'll wait until there are casinos there and transporters to get there immediately.

I hope they send a family of 4 and a big trash can looking robot, later they can send a up a pedophile doctor. Let's make Lost In Space a reality! (the original, not the Joey one)
