Sick of planet earth?

[Matty]

Fuck that!

[JonnyD]

I guess that would all depend on the other 9 participants... ;)

[longrider]

If I was 20 years younger I would consider it. You definitely have to have the right personality for that, it would not work for the real social type.

[Jmetz]

I'm guessing at a short time they are going to run out of food, water, or air and die a horribly shitty death. Where do I sign up?!?

[WolFeYeZ]

They better have chicks on board... good looking ones too.

This has great penal colony potential...

[buddahson]

I'd be down. Think they can set me up with a mars motorcycle? That's about the only thing I'd miss.

[asp_125]

I like that comment "Can I nominate someone?"

[vort3xr6]

Considering at Mars atmospheric pressure, your bare skin and eyes would boil immediately when walking outside, I will pass. Or just keep shipping me new video games.

[TransNone13]

I'd do it.

[I`m Batman]

I saw what happened in Total Recall when you go outside. No, thank you.

[Ghost]

I'd go. Assuming you survive the radiation, bone loss and general hazards of the trip just to get there I think life on Mars would be comparatively easy.

And the view from Mars when the Earth destroys itself should be very pretty...

[grim]

Could you imagine the paper work your have to fill out for that?

[Clovis]

Well not quite. Mar's atmospheric pressure is 1/10th of earth's so it's kind of like being at high altitude. Say above where commercial airliners fly.

And then there's the whole poison gas thing but for awhile at least it would possible to walk around the surface with a gas mask and warm coat with "some" bruising ;)

Not quite. It is 10 times past the Armstrong Limit, which means liquid water will boil at 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Considering the human body averages around 60% water at 98.6 degrees, I'd say it's a little worse than some bruising! :). Think raiders of the lost ark.

[Clovis]

Don't go raining on my Mars colony parade! :)

[madvlad]

No water, joo phaked! Lol

[Ghost]

No water, joo phaked! Lol

There may or may not be water somewhere on Mars, and after you've been drinking your & your shipmates' piss for the entire trip out there, why stop once you get there?

...again, assuming you even survive getting to Mars with current technology...

[vort3xr6]

Looks like the biggest problem is the radiation from traveling through space. Current astronauts see flashes of light when their eyes are closed. Apparently that is a solar flare going through your brain lol.

[FZ1Guy]

Here you go... this is what you get :fire:

[Sean]

There are a few people I would like to nominate for this position...

Well if there's ships like in WALL-E we are taken care of lol

[Ghost]

Well if there's ships like in WALL-E we are taken care of lol

There aren't.

Just aluminum cans that are about as radiation-proof as tinfoil...

[Ghosty]

They're gonna need a hell of a lot more than ten workers to set the processor up:

Well guess we fkd then... let's ride till bikes explode and party lol

Gold prices will go through the roof when they start building whatever they plan to have them live in if they plan to have windows.

[FZ1Guy]

Gold... Gold... I love GOLD!!!
