One way ticket to Mars, would you go?

Can't remember who is doing it but some space program thingy are asking for volunteers to sign their lives away and undergo ten years training ready for blast off in 2023. The twits will be put on a one way rocket to Mars with plans to establish a space colony out there and no chance of a return flight.

Could you contemplate doing that? What if you changed your mind nine years into training? What if you were up for going because you were a bit of a loner on earth but then you ended up with a wife and kids before your time was up?

It would be an amazing chance to leave a legacy but would there be any point to it for those who do it first? What do they gain? I am sure the risks are pretty severe and it's not like they get a heroes homecoming.

Frankly, the prospect scares me and tempts me at the same time.

You should do it Biggie, it's best for all concerned.

They should let us volunteer people to go. I would suggest Zak Knight and Mario Balotelli

Its called Mars One.

This looks like a prequel idea to Total Recall.


The size of the living quarters are smaller than N'gogs goal tally.
