LF: People to die on Mars

Wanted: People willing to die on Mars

Mars One co-founder tells CBC about its proposed one-way trip to the Red Planet



The man behind the private space project dubbed Mars One is looking for people to travel to Mars, but he's not offering a return ticket.

"The technology to get humans to Mars and keep them alive there exists," Bas Lansdorp told Day 6 host Brent Bambury in an interview that aired this week on CBC Radio.

"The technology to bring humans from Mars back to Earth simply does not exist yet."

Lansdorp said he's looking for people who are utterly dependable, good in groups and "at their best when things are at their worst."

The never-to-return explorers will require eight years of training, and the search starts this year.

The flight is scheduled to leave in Sept. 2022.

[Anna J]

RipeBreadfruit has a valid point though.

Why not send some prisoners like what they did to Australia?
They certainly wouldn't require 8 years of training, and who cares if they arrive safely or not?

[Sky]

^^The man paying for their trip?
And what you think the training is for? It's to study mars more.

This is a good idea. maybe they should re-think the purpose of the trip

[nemisis]

^^^So let me get this straight send them to mars to die is your solution when murder or death penalty right here cheaper, easier and chances are better.


When they start shipping out terrorists hide yo hijab

[noshownogo]

Can't wait to learn the backgrounds of the people volunteering for this

Just thought it was a good option to deal with overcrowding issues. Sure its expensive but not for those facing death penalty obviously.

I'll still wear my hijab man..whatever happens, happens

[SweeP]

dey cud ah just put "free trip to mars" !!!

[Sky]

This is for science. Allyuh stop bein retarded nah...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

This is for science. Allyuh stop bein retarded nah...

I was wondering when some common sense would enter the thread

this trip is for RESEARCH and setting up a colony that could one day accept life from earth moving back and forth as we do today regularly on the International Space Station.

If they sent prisoners to set up the space station what do you think would have happened to it?

besides you really want to spend Trillions of dollars on prisoners or as a solution to overcrowding?

common sense really not so common

[Sacchetto Boutique]

well duh....i know its for research. Just saying...space is good for criminals...i wasnt taking this thread seriously

[nemisis]

^^^ don't water it because it fall in your garden lol

[Sacchetto Boutique]

hey...this isnt twitter, stop following me around

[nemisis]

Don't make yourself such an easy target

[stev]

mars gravity is different and the radiation from the sun is deadly unless u living under the surface or in a radiation shielded hut (not designed as yet).

i doh know how d hell they gonna deal with these problems. lol

[Rudman]
