Alien Resurrection.

the critter was surgically removed and the patient survived the procedure with excellent recovery and prognosis

This is the Mars One thread

If you want to talk about Sun One you'll have to start another thread

The colonists will face the same problem though.

'its not like on earth, In fact i cant think of a single decision i have made yet this week that was critical to my immediate survival. Hell i stayed in the bed almost ALL day Sunday for no other reason than just because i felt like it, yet despite that... it was still a 4 minute drive to the grocery store where i could instantly purchase any number of awesome foods to eat without any concern as to how much was on the shelf and i didnt have to feed the chickens and raise them from birth just so i could savor the scrambled eggs i had for breakfast. I didnt have to cut the firewood im burning right now or go outside and maintain or repair intricate equipment to grant me enough electricity to write this post before something else breaks down or fails or needs tweaking in order for me to keep living'

But you (me too!) are in the minority on the planet...for the majority of the world most people ARE feeding the chickens, cutting firewood, and making decisions critical to their daily survival...your description of the drudgery of life on Mars is EXACTLY like life on Earth...

While true for many people, i would find it hard to believe that the "majority" of people on the planet earth would simply be screwed and dead come monday if they didnt milk a cow, harvest chicken eggs, slaughter a pig, repair an evaporator, realign solar panels, close the airlock and and forget any one of half a dozen intricacies on their space suits.

Im simply making the point that Mars is a million times less hospitable than Earth just by the nature of it being a vast wasteland devoid of not just a few of the things we take for granted here on earth... but devoid of ALL of the things we take for granted and dont take for granted here on earth

2030: After almost three years of Big Brother Mars mission an accident occur on Mars 4 death and 3 servere wounded.

The company behind the idea haven't got any chances to get the people home..NASA sees its chances

- You give us all your equiptment on Mars and we send two(new type of spacecraft for personal use, who is not build yet)

2033 NASA send a group of Astronaut and several cargo with equiptment and supply to Mars

2035 NASA send a groug of scientist to Mars....

It's a good point, but it's almost certain that the people who will be going will be from that privileged group that most of us belong to.
