| Calling all Mars Volunteers | November 14, 2010, 3:48 pm |
It has been reported in the press that NASA wants volunteers for a trip to Mars. There is one almighty catch though, you wont be coming back. Therell be living quarters there for you and youll be expected to fend mostly for yourself. Youll have to grow your own food with occasional supplies coming from Earth but be mainly self-sufficient.
Advantages include not having to deal with problems that exist Earth such as wars, disease and Acts of God (Hurricanes, Volcanic Erruptions, etc). As you wont be coming back, youll have to deal with pro-creation. Those going there cant expect to be sterallised celibate for the rest of their lives. As people will refrain from celebacy, you will have to deal with children being produced. How would they cope with living in a bubble base on Mars?
Funding for the project is being done by a mixture of private and government organisation. It is expected to cost around $10 Billion and be ready for 2030. The Worlds Billionaires are being asked to contributed to the cost of the endavour. For more information click Here |
