Mars anyone?

So a private company is in the process of finalizing their candidates for a one way trip to Mars. No I'm not kidding. Click here to see Mars One. They are selling broadcast rights, sponsorhips and crowdfunding to get it done. They'll start sending humans, four at a time, to Mars starting in 2024.

 

Apart from the 6-8 month trip in an SUV sized module, landing on a planet that you have to wear a space suit to go outside, and hoping that the water and air generating systems don't fail...it's exciting to be one of the first humans to land on Mars...if you make it there.

 

Would you go?

The point of no return has to intrigue many.

Only if I could take some Gothamites with me and set up Gotham Mars!

Not "no". "HELL NO!!" I'm looking forward to grandchildren...someday.

I would not go either, but return the question: Would you go, Mitch?
