One way trip to Mars
« on: June 20, 2012, 04:26:32 PM »
I hope this gets going - http://mars-one.com/en/  I'd love to see this in my lifetime. 

Would you be tempted to apply?

Ok, given where Google started this isn't necessarily a negative I know, but that site really makes it look like this is the product of two guys in the garage making mars landing models out of lego.

I think if I was looking to raise a few billion, I would probably make a bit more of an effort.

crazy stuff... little too claustrophobic to me.

I probably would if I could get a return ticket.

Although the view would be amazing and my name would get into the history books I can't help but think it sounds very boring.  Stuck in a box for the rest of my life woohoo.  I'd miss my parents, my partner, my brothers and what happens when I get ill, if I develop dementia, will they put me down?

It does sound romantic, it's the last frontier but for me, nope.
