So....anyone want to live on Mars? Only costs $38!

[Chieve]

thats pretty cool! i would apply if i didnt feel like i would just be throwing my money away and end up not making it...

[shelbster18]

That's a scary thought.

Maybe they could start sending prisoners that have life or worse sentences there and they could have their own society. Kind of like those Sci-Fi movies where they send prisoners to prison colony planets.

Send them ahead to start building the colony and then come in and remove them and fix any sabotage they committed. Better use of money than locking them up for life, or even better just use a %5 and fix them permanently.

Why would anybody voluntarily sign up for that? Do they know what Mars is?

Should grab people that have no idea what Mars is or what it's like there and send them over for the lawls.

Once they get there...

"Help... come.... pick us... up"

"We cant we don't have the technology to do so"

"WUT?!?"

"gibberish"

I wonder how many of these people will realize whats happening in ten years time after the initial excitement dies down...and they actually think about this.

Honestly it's pretty god damn pointless and a waste of all the fuel and resources sent there that we wont be able to retrieve, we would be better of building [BEEP] on the moon. Or a big habitable cylinder. Or any number of things more beneficial then sending people and supply's on a 9 month trip to a barren planet that we don't have the means to exploit yet.

It's the part that training is going to be a reality TV show with premium-cost numbers to dial to vote for your "favourite" that gets me. I think I'm going to stay on Earth. I do actually like going outside and being able to breathe without a helmet on. And eating food that isn't that vaccum-packed ice-cream sandwich.

I wonder if they get internet on Mars. Probably don't get Wifi. I've yet to hear of any cell phone operators offering calls to other planets.

If there were a colony on the moon I'd move ASAP I cant stand being on this planet surrounded by morons 24/7

SA loner as I am, I still think I'd get annoyed with my three other people living with me in that space pod thing, or whatever.

3D printer using lunar regolith to construct building shells which can then be outfitted with airlocks and air recycling systems, to support more people. They would only need a small crew to build the framework then send over the more advanced components. Much better use of peoples time and money than going to Mars, and dropping valuable resources somewhere where we cant retrieve them.

So I just registered - I want to see where this goes!!!

....they weren't long looking for money lol

[WintersTale]

No laisair, we need you here. You're actually nice

...whatever. I doubt they've built a 3D lunar regolith airlock whatever thingy on Mars before. Still, call me materialistic or whatever...but I do actually like being able to use the internet??? And not stuck on some red rock place with three other people doing...whatever you do on Mars...I don't know, what do they do? Sit around and twiddle there thumbs??? I doubt that there's actually much to do on Mars. I wonder what happens if there's a fault with the oxygen supply. Or one of them gets sick. A lot of people who signed up for that seem to be eligible for a pension in 10 years time...

Good luck, I guess. I'm half tempted to do that, but I don't imagine there not going to take somebody who can't hear much. They say the moneys to make sure that you are fully comitted to going to Mars. Not that they could force you, I don't think.
