Would you go to mars if you could never go back?

I draw my number around 200K as this is what the internet tells me.

This site is ridiculous on everything anyway :/

We even have a guide on how to live on mars.

fox news xd that site isn't very credible

also 200 000 people on mars might be the eventual goal but not the initial.

its will be alot fatalities if they send that many people without establishing something.

 

[FinalPyre]

Well yeah that is applications though. Just like auditions to a play (but I'm guessing you surmised that anyways).

lol first link is fox news. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XX-QV-bXRc


We also have guides on how to survive a zombie apocalypse :D

(btw I keep forgetting to mention that I also love space balls. I still quote it on occasion)

 

[Selvaria Bles]

fox news reports some of the weirdest forms of news.

 

[Will98]

Yeah, I had that coming but what the heck. But still I am correct in my previous posts.

If not now, then 200K people is the ultimate goal. Still gotta have all the plants growing for them.

And yes, Fox News really does have some interesting news.

 

[FinalPyre]

Fox news has some interesting "news".

 

[Selvaria Bles]

well you were correct in previous post will, but yes I do believe 200 k is the end result :p

however mars has needed to be properly searched and inhabited before that happens.

 

[Will98]

Yes, I agree. More research and experiments first.

 

[Selvaria Bles]

it would be waste if we send that many of our people and they ended up dying.

it would take some time for the population to recover from that high of a loss.

 

[Will98]

Oh.... we are just sending regular people to mars....

 

[Selvaria Bles]

no of course they will be trained but they will be regular people before the training XD

excluding the many many scientists XD

 

[FinalPyre]

200k may sound like a lot, but I can assure you the earth would hardly notice the difference.

That is like what, 0.003% of the world's population?

 

[Selvaria Bles]

fair enough but it still would be a shocking incident.

 

[FinalPyre]

Not sure if people would be shocked more from 200 to 200k. People already suck at imagining numbers anyways ;)

 

[Selvaria Bles]

that is huge difference in numbers

both will be devastating anyways.

 

[Will98]

Hey now >_>

I was thinking about sending people who waste my tax money to mars.... Just you know... reasons. It would be pretty interesting to see how a tax money spender survives in the cold dark vacuum of space.

Note: This is not a post promoting political stance. This is satirical and cynical opinion.

 

[Selvaria Bles]

LOL

well we can always give them ball shaped helmets and kick them to space XD

 

[Will98]

We can call them: "Spaceballs"!!!

Alrighty back to the main topic.

 

[Selvaria Bles]

well we need figure out how the plant life can be sustained in the harsh mars atmosphere.

 

[FinalPyre]

harsh mars atmosphere.

I see what you did there ;)

That is, assuming you meant to do it.
