Would you go to Mars?

'We've built a spaceship bound for Mars and we've got room for just one person. We aim to launch a second ship to rescue you a year later. If it works, you'll be more famous than Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on another planet, but you might die in the process. Are you up for it?

Not a chance. Not even a drivethrough on the way.

Just me going then? I'm off to make sure I have enough clean underwear.

[OllieWinchester]

As I understand it its quite inhospitable to life, so a no from me. They don't even have Sky+ there yet or anything.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Yep, I'd go.

[jmorgan]

Sorry but no. Odds need to be better for a safe AND healthy return. Glory is no good when you are a stiff.

Well the deal does include a space capsule to live in, enough food and air for a year and some experiments to keep you busy. If NASA promises you PH as well do we have a deal?!

Any mention of uranus yet??????.......... This just isn't like the old P & P

[ewenm]

Definitely yes. I've seen that documentary "Total Recall" - it's all hospitable now.

[EDLT]

What would you do on Mars for a year, hunt down Beagle 2?


Also isn't the gravity on mars similar to that on earth? So you would need to land the equivalent of a saturn 5 rocket full of fuel on a rocky desert planet in such a way that it could take off again.

I'd want enough food and air for 2 years.

And porn.

It's only me out there after all.

[crofty1984]

I'd worry about being bored.

Good job Columbus didn't...



Maybe Homo sapiens will go no further than the Moon after all

[moleamol]

I'd go and not even for the fame.

[GTIR]

Only if i can get a Johnny Cab while I am there, and they have girls with three boobies.

[Killer2005]

Yes, but I'd have to give me enough cash to make me richer than god

[Snake the Sniper]

Hell, if it was easy everyone would be wanting to go to space. It's the fact that you might not make it back that makes it so worthwhile going. And besides, it would be near impossible for the OH to nag me for 1 whole year. So, where do I sign?!

[dirty boy]

My wife will go



I'll tell her in the morning.

[Simpo Two]

Well 57% of 42 people is 23.94 pioneer astronauts!

It seems that if there IS ever a Mars mission, a PHer will be on it. Well done chaps

[dirty boy]

Would they cover my mobile bill if I wanted to call my wife?
