Dutch reality show seeks one-way astronauts for Mars






what do you guys think about it? a reality tv show about a one way trip to mars - that'd be intense

 

If I can bring my RC and maybe a 1200GS, I'd be down. Learn as you go, right?

 

Things they don't tell you.

1. You can't come back, once you're there the lack of gravity will let your bones and muscles degrade to a point where Earths gravity would break you if you tried to return.

2. IIRC, only 4 people go to start, then 2 more every ~6 months. No thanks...don't want to live with the same 100 people for the rest of my life.

3. You can't go outside with a spacesuit, yes, you are told this, but think about that...

4. Have fun with the lack of real food!

5. Everything will be recorded while there, and no privacy...at all

 

i know, but think about it. you could do whatever you wanted and not get in trouble for it. earth's laws dont apply? (****, now i'm sounding like a trekkie or whatever).


the privacy would be made up for the fact you're a couple hundred million miles away from anyone who cared.



and the whole "you can't come back" thing is the most interesting part!
