Sometime in the future, we can expect to see commercials or ads from travel agencies telling us how Mars is a great place to vacation. Cruise ships are gearing up to tempt you with their zero gravity room, while serving drinks on the Mars deck.
But for now, it seems that there are people actually signing up to colonize Mars. What's the catch, you might ask? Once you get there, you're there forever. They will prepare you for eight years for the mission.
So, now you're living on a planet with no breathable air, climate is 58 degree, you're building living space, doing maintenance, living with a bunch of people in close quarters. There's nowhere to go but to your bunk, somebodies going to lose their mind. The only people I can see doing this are those that have no family and will not be missed (sorry if that sounds cold). What do you do, will they have Wi-Fi, or cable? One guy stated that he wanted to take his bike. Really, where the hell are you riding it to?
The Dutch company that's sponsoring this require the successful candidates to raise money for this project during this training period. The company even hopes to make a Reality Show on these people.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole idea of living there. Maybe when things are more populated, there’s a McDonald’s and they have transportation coming back to earth on a regular basis, I might give it some thought. Until then, I’m just saying…
Maybe we start planning for a select few to make sure they do not miss the reunion. (LOL) Who in their right would even consider this crap?! Talking about a need to get away! It is so sad that scammers willuse the vulnerabilities and fears if people just to make a dollar.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in the world these nuts exist. By the time Mars is up and running like a metropolis, we'll dead and forgotten.
