One way trip to Mars?

**Fan of Big Tone** · July 15, 2015

I heard an interview this morning with a man who is on a short list of 100 to go in a one way trip to Mars to set up a community on the planet.

Would you want to go knowing the risks and that you will never see your family again?

I know some people I'd want to send on a one way trip to Mars The wife's definitely on that shortlist.

i can think of one person in particular, i'd like to see on a one way trip to Mars. Not a family member!

You'd need a very big rocket to accommodate all the people I'd like to send to Mars.Not my idea of a fun trip.

Insane, I just hope they don't turn into Nazi's hell bent on trying to destroy earth. Now what movie was that?

**super_ram** · July 15, 2015

I wouldn't go but could nominate plenty of people I'd like to see the back of.

He'd probably love it, after all it is called the RED planet!

I would do, but I've heard they can only send a monkey now due to Tory cutbacks. Strange that the monkey is called Gideon Osborne though. If I were him I would change it to make it sound less...stuck up. Wouldn't you agree @PTID1862 ?

Never mind... lets see who wins your leadership contest.... make sure you save a paddle to give them

Andy Burnham or Jeremy Cornyn. If Burnham wins we will win the next election hopefully.

If JC wins, the Labour Party will be changed forever for the better. Will we win the election with JC? Not sure. I hope the country still has a bit of moral socialism left, but at least the Labour party will go back to representing the social class that needs it. Something this country hasn't seen in a generation.

i would not go even if someone was to pay me 1 million pounds, its suicide. we know very little about mars, so why decide to send people to start a colony? surely this is a joke or prank.
