Why is it suicide? We all have to die sometime!.

Think about it, as long as NASA (or some other space agency) sent regular supply ships, They'll be OK; these guys are no different to old style prospectors.

As long as these guys totally realize that there's no coming home, home would become Mars and as long as supplies were sent and nothing went too wrong, they'd survive. They'd go about making it their home. Fixing things, mining. Turning it into a real colony. Eventually, the first kids would be born there, they find a way to become self sufficient and hey presto, 1st true extra-terrestrial human colony.

With the tools and resources, Survival instinct is an amazing motivator.

Risky as hell but then again, nothing the human race has ever done has come about without the hard work and sacrifice of a few early adopters.... and a little luck.

I like your thinking =D

I think that is a stupid way to waste money, time and lives. "I work well under solitude." Guess you have to experience something similar to Moon!

Well rest in peace, at least you'll die in a fashionable way that'd be quick, painless and doing something we all dream to do.

Are you kidding? A show about 100 or so ignorant simpletons slowly being driven insane by the stress, home sickness, and malnutrition of space travel!? I'd totally watch that!

This is one of those things I'd want to happen just to see what would come out of it.

Hell, televise it and it'll be much better than Big Brother.

...Okay, pretty much anything televised is better than Big Brother.

*Imagines.

Yup I'm subscribing! It's like a Sci-Fi horror t.v. series xD.
[SUB]Wait isn't that like the movie w/ Arnold S which involves him avoiding death for a t.v. show?[/SUB]

Forgive me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it take at least 70 years to get to Mars?


These guys have obviously never played Red Faction.

Could all the haters please jump of a cliff and die in the most horrible way imaginable? What the fuck is wrong with you, in any other era these people would be lauded for the grand sacrifice they're willing to make for the sake of humanity and all you people can do is compare them to fuckin jersey shore?

And of course they're not going to have the same qualifications as nasa astronauts; they're gonna freakin die, which retard would spent 5 years getting a science degree and another 5 years astronaut training + relevant experience only to jump in a fucking spaceship????

Let them go. Maybe something cool will happen, like maybe they'll all get sick with some sort of alien virus and turn into hideous monsters.

[small]*I've been playing a lot Dead Space[/small]
But then we would have to send a poorly equipped, unsuspecting mechanic who has to use industrial weapons tools to fight his way to the source of the madness only to find that his love interest back on earth who continently disappeared 20 years ago was actually one of the original crew and was now super badass queen monster and he has to kill it with laser pistols.

[sub]Disclaimer: I really like Dead Space, I just like making fun of parts of the story too xD[/sub]

If they want to go, let them. Less stupid people to deal with on earth if they do.

And if they were making a grand sacrifice for the sake of humanity here, they would be. But they aren't. They're just a bunch of ninnies going "Oooh I want to go to Mars yay fun!"

I took two things from that:
1. People cam be brave and stupid in equal measure.
2. Holy shit, Space Chaplains, thankfully they aren't preaching about the Emperor.

That isn't the plot of Dead Space, I was making fun of the poorly equipped, unsuspecting mechanic. The final boss is in no way related to the protagonist emotionally or physically!
