I've heard about that. Isn't that the mission that is a one way trip to mars? Whoever volunteers to do that is a little crazy

As cool as that may seem, I find it really hard to leave everything you love behind to go live in a desert. It can be acceptable if you're old, but there are plenty of 20+ years old wanting to go there spend their whole lives there. That's kinda sad

Well, I'm sick of this place! Too much oppression, wars, garbage, gross YouTube videos, disasters, revolutions, bullies, and poverty.

And procrastination. DONT FORGET PROCRASTINATION!!!

Anyway, I would love to go to a different world.

It's the same as 20+ year old people join the military; they're willing to fight and possibly die for the cause. It's not just a desert; it's a different planet with different properties than Earth. It's the same as people "living" in a man-made object orbiting around the earth, it's just a small space yet people enjoy it.

but yeah, when some astronauts were circling around the moon, they said they liked the silence and quite without command (on the other side opposite earth). ill dig out the source if you want me to

well, probably everything except for poverty will come with us because only rich people will be able to go to Mars.

By 2035-40 buying a ticket to Mars will be like buying a ticket for the Train-When colonists arrive, someone is likely to be sitting in the gutter- err... Crater

Living on mars would be solitary. No real-time contact with earth, you only have the same bunch of people to see and talk to every single day.
What happens if a colonist becomes paranoid, what if they develop schizophrenia with no way to suppress it?
What happens when a colonist dies?
What if a few colonists live long enough that Mars travel is more worked out and they're able to perhaps return home?

No doubt NASA will have contingencies, but it's still things to think about. It's more than what being on the ISS is like.

Xriqxa · « **Reply #13 on:** April 14, 2014, 07:44:14 AM »

I don't have many problems with that. As for when a colonist dies, reproduction should handle that. What? You want me to say the other word instead?

The team have imagination and hopes that this thing will work. So stop worrying about it.

If it was anti-matter, half the size of Ceres and going half the speed of light.

If the comet is fast enough, collision can liberate more energy than Tsar Bomba !!

Xriqxa · « **Reply #18 on:** May 31, 2014, 12:14:09 AM »

Any comet in our solar system can wipe out all life on earth if it hit, what'd a you mean fast enough?

the comet should be so I guess without crashing

here instead....

pac0master · « **Reply #21 on:** June 26, 2014, 11:21:10 AM »

The cool thing about Mars One is that If they survive there long enough and train a lot, It is possible that within their life time the technology on Earth grow quick enough to make back travel possible.

IF* they SURVIVE* is an important point here.

Unnamed25 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 07, 2014, 09:37:55 AM »

I actually doubt that this will happen..

Its their 1st space mission and they already want to send people to another planet.

Staying forever on an unknown planet with radiation .. There I would stay

Darvince · « **Reply #26 on:** August 14, 2014, 08:30:21 AM »

They'd probably have a big EM magnet in the base to protect from the Sun's radiation.

Magnetarhyper4436 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 22, 2014, 03:34:52 AM »

Or you could just blast a hole through Olympus Mons so the pit reaches the inner core, throw an antimatter flask down the pit, and basically the core would heat up which makes sure the magnetosphere would increase so that it woud cover the surface instead of being tiny blotches that grow and shrink over time.

Xriqxa · « **Reply #28 on:** August 22, 2014, 04:02:48 AM »

That seems like a pretty impractical and movie-logic based hypothesis. For example, what would keep the the core molten? It'd just die off after a few decades and we'd have to fir another casket down the hole.

Seems a lot more expensive than EMR's.

Explosions? Well of course you won't put a thermal generator down there, otherwise it'll melt.

Who would like to go to Mars and come back any time?
