Space...... the final frontier. These are the voyages of...
*cough*
It's always been my thought that this planet will eventually have more people on it then it can support. Populations keep rising, no? I personally think (guessing in a few thousand years into the future) that if we intend to survive as a species, well have to expand to new areas eventually. So, why not mars? Human expansion has to start somewhere, right?
But here's the thing, this will end any combination of 3 ways:
- You either write your name in history as one of the brave individuals to venture, and your name will be in history books (probably as a foot note) when the founding of the mars colony is discussed.
- You end up going bats**t insane being out there for one reason or another. (Humans do have pshycological needs that come from many sources)
- You die a horrible death, or Nasa calls the whole thing off and blows its last wad of cash to bring everyone home.

And yes, i would volunteer, though my Fiancee would disallow it.
