Guess they want adventure. Not going to get much if you ask me

I think they're the freaks who are worried about 2012 :p And want frontside seats or something

THE THREAD HAS BEEN REVIVE
I think I posted here already, but I laugh at these people while being eager to see what it's like when it happens. Also, that guy'll be 89 when he leaves. Eheh.

LOL - I thought of the HHGG reference before I got through the article's title :p

I wonder, is this "list" of "volunteers" open to politicians and law makers? I'd hope so. perhaps we should remind our representatives in office that a "new" society will need "leaders" to set things in order. :D

Give them cameras, that way at least we'll get some nice play things for the psychologists when we actually start the "real" colonization.

I'm more concerned with the sexual tensions that might occur. I'm pretty sure of those people are going to be male, and with loneliness, the only thing which has more of 'value' for humans other then food and shelter is sex.

If you didn't get what I'm trying to say, bless your naive soul...

What I mean by all this is there is going to be certain degree of mass gangrape...and this concerns me greatly.

I am re-experiencing the skit with the chimps on Robot Chicken being killed for our space program.

I don't know if it's because life is so bad down here or so many people aspire to explore the unknown that is driving their willingness to sign up.

I giggled. Not because of the news clip, but because I thought to myself about 3/4 the way thru the post "this sounds like something that Fox News would--ah, yep."

FAIR. BALANCED.

If people want to go and are willing to pay for it, let them. They know the risks and I am sure others (skeptics) would say so.
Let some poor starving beafron russians make some moneh. Also it would help space and earth... by getting rid of some of that nasty excess population we have...

Hey! i have a suggestion. let's go for world peace and use all our unused nukes and bombs on mars. Let's bomb the planet out of existence. better to lose it than to have it populated with these.......... actually. let's do this. Let's send ever god damn reality TV star to mars. the jersey shore, big brother, pairs Hilton's BFFs, 16 and pregnant, sweet 16........generally just send MTV to the moon and make it so their broadcasting doesn't reach earth. I just solved overpopulation and made the intelligence level of earth rise. i should be given an award.
The booze for brains colony...... i like the sound of that.

Out of curiosity... What is the private industry planning to do with collection of useless people on a rock almost 2 years away. With machinery for any way trip... Put up a McDonalds for spacemen?
Whats the point of colonizing mars, to prevent overpopulation, if there is nothing they can do for us. Just chuck em resources that are windling away from us - Suicide by starvation?

This is just... Absolutely fucking stupid... If you want to remove yourself from the evolutionary chain or genepool, there are easier ways. And if you want to feel good about it - the ultimate decision. Donate your body to science...
