kaoz187 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 So mars one, a non profit organization is planning to send people on a one way trip to colonize mars in 2023. 24-40 people in groups of 4, more will be sent every 2 years. To pay for this mission , which will cost a shit load. 6billion for the first 4, they will film and air the final round of choosing on a tv show so be on the look out for "who wants to be a astronaut" some time in 2014. soo that being said...would any of you be daring enough to go???

Fatalshizot Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 You would think you would need much more people than that especially for running infrastructure and stuff. New England wasn't colonized by a handful of people. That being said, a true colonization would have schooling and family services and hell ya I'd take my family to space!

mustang67n Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I hear this over and over again and am never sure if it's real or a faux either way.. If i had the funds. I'd leave in a heartbeat. even if it were shortlived and I died early.. so worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Nope, I'm staying here on earth as long as it's sustainable. I'd have to be extremely comfortable with the colonization on Mars for me to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalshizot Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Not to mention the medical ailments that could occur from being in contact with foreign elements, but on the flip side possible cures for cancers and viral diseases. I think the possibilities outweigh the risks. Hell if we never explored, America would probably still be indigenous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I could get into a boat and discover america, and this time, not massacre the natives...instead I would live a secluded life in the forest.

Bawhee Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 My main worry in this rather bad idea is that low gravity makes the body work funny. Ridiculously long exposure could fuck them people up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculously long exposure could fuck them people up. Very true, low levels of resistance would cause people to become significantly weaker.... Jesus I wonder how much I could bench on mars!

Bawhee Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Oh, my second most pressing worry is that a non profit organisation sending people to mars based on donations and shit just sounds so silly and far fetched I find it unlikely.
