Mars One plans suicide mission to Red Planet for 2023

[YosemiteSam]

I'll be getting close to retirement age in 2023. If they can keep the beer and smokes coming on the supply ship, count me in.

:laugh2: I can't even imagine what a weightless hang over would feel like, (or even being head-spinning drunk would feel like) but it can't be good. That isn't even talking about how horrible puking in a weightless environment would be. Especially to those not puking!

Pretty cool

BTW, why is this called a suicide mission?

By the 2023 they'll have plenty of advances to take care of some the boredom questions. The colony would require plenty of work and maintenence. There would be exploration ventures and science projects, of course.
And I'm sure they would have many forms of entertainment.

Because they will all eventually die on Mars.

Pizza delivery would be a little on the expensive side.

If I had no wife or kids and a doctor told me I had 2 years left to live, I would jump on the first trip. What a way to go out!

If you only had 2 yrs left to live you wouldn't be selected.

Funny.

But if you live your life out and then die of natural causes, that is not suicide.

That's like saying you're going to move to and retire in Florida and never plan to live in any other stae...so you are on a suicide mission to Florida.:laugh2:

Oh well, I was just curious...no big deal.

No way if it isn't delivered in 30 minutes, it's free.

Funny.

If you move to Florida you still have a reasonable ability to leave any time you want. You have a choice. You go to Mars, you can't leave. You may want to leave, but you won't have the ability to do so. Not with the limited resources you will have at your disposal based on these mission goals and plans.

You should be mission commander because you're always alert to the most important details .

As opposed to dying on...............Earth?

 

[Hoofbite]

I'm not sure I'd call it a suicide mission.

Everyone knows that you just need to kickstart the reactor and Mars would have clean air to breath.

If it weren't for that jerk, Cohagen, Mars would be colonized by now.

 

[burmafrd]

Mars is too light of a planet and too far from the sun to ever be terraformed.
It cannot sustain an atmosphere that is thick enough. And the distance would prevent sufficent heat even if that was not the case. IF people live there permanently it will be under huge domes or underground.

Psst...Kuato Lives...pass it on.

Sorry, but hanging out of someone's belly ain't really my idea of living.

Will there be a scene of Kate Beckinsale fighting Jessica Biel in the new movie? That would be hot.

They couldn't pack enough scotch to make it worth the trip

 

[TNCowboy]

Fascinating.

Although, I don't see this ending well.

Makes me think of the scene in Undercover Brother where they are all fighting until the guys notice the two women fighting. They stop, pull up chairs and

:laugh2:

Pillow fight in their undies?
