Poll: One way ticket to Mars

[GammaRayX]

If you are given the chance to be the first person on a crew of five to go to Mars. However, there is no return trip home, but there is enough supply to live on Mars for 2 years.

Will you take it?

 

[Total Refected Power]

A bit unrealistic, no? If it was for a great purpose maybe. For exploration? No way.

 

[Chooie]

I would do it if I was 80.

 

[Imported]

Only if I'd be able to take my girlfriend/wife with me.

And even then, I might not..

 

[Fathom4]

As much as going into space has always been my biggest dream, part of that dream is to return to Earth.


So no.

 

[Windogg]

Only if I get to pick the crew. I start with Latecia Casta as co-pilot.

Can't say I'd do it. Things would get boring pretty fast, especially knowing there was no return back.. and only two years to live.

 

[prodigy]

While Windogg is with Latecia Casta, my co-pilot will be Laetitia Casta.

 

[vi edit]

I actually probably would. I get to step on soil that no other human has ever stepped on, not to mention one hell of a trip there.

After being there, and experiencing the peace and tranquility of the planet, I probably wouldn't want to return to earth anyway.

Of course, I'd find some creative and cool way to die besides slow starvation and/or asphyxiation.

 

[Chooie]

How about pole vaulting into the atmosphere?

 

[Fardringle]

Depends if I could take my wife and baby with me. And if I could take a computer with broadband Internet access. (Wireless, of course. ) Another important consideration would be whether there would be another ship coming in two years with more supplies!

 

[Ranger X]

No way. I like it the way it is down here.

 

[beat mania]

After you die on Mars, do you still get to go to the heaven/hell that everyone else gets to go to?

 

[Pretender]

<< Only if I get to pick the crew. I start with Latecia Casta as co-pilot. >>

Uh, I thought you actually wanted to get to Mars. I don't think I'd be able to concentrate enough to land on mars with her there.

Man, those Quake3 ping times would SUCK.

Well, I'd consider it if I couldn't come home, but there's no reason to think they wouldn't be able to send a resupply ship if they could get people there in the first place. In that case, I might do it.

4 years ago, I would have said yes, but now I'm married. In a couple years, we'll have a child then it's a definite no-go.
