NASA announced last year that it plans to send people to the planet Mars in the near future, but because Mars is so far away, a trip to Mars would be so expensive, so that the best way to send people to Mars would be on a one way trip. Well, a few days ago ABC's Ned Potter did a feature on settling the Red Planet. See the video.
My take on a one way trip to Mars? Question 1: Would I go? Question 2: Do I think anyone should volunteer?
To the question would I go? No. To the question: Do I think anyone should volunteer? Well, if a person owes the IRS and can't afford to pay? Maybe? If a person has no life on this planet? Perhaps. If a person has a condition that would improve on a planet with less gravity? Why not? Other than that, I wouldn't recommend a one-way ticket to LA for anybody. Certainly not a one way ticket to Mars.
