***volunteers needed!!!***

NASA Mars mission a one-way trip

• Space program looking for volunteers
• Program aimed at settling other worlds
• Astronauts would not be brought home

IT'S the biggest dead-end job ever.

NASA is looking for volunteers to fly to Mars - the snag is that you won't come back.
It is actively investigating the possibility of humans colonising worlds such as the Red Planet.

NASA revealed that it had already received more than $1 million to commence work on the project at its Ames Research Centre in California.

So, we wont even make it out of our atmosphere then?
Explode on the tarmac or half way up...great, where do I sign?

 

Yeaaaah.... noooo..

I think they should straighten out some of the shit on earth first.

 

all.

 

Yea, all of it. Perhaps then we'll realise that we don't need to go live on Mars.

 

Instead of talking about what "THEY" "SHOULD" do, think about what YOU are doing right now. :mickey::afro::2thumbsup:

 

Well, unfortunately I'm not in control of NASA, world hunger, racism, drug wars, and corrupt officials.

 

True. I'm not apposed to space exploration...but keep it to satellites and maybe the moon.
They'll pump billions of dollars into this just for the prestige. Ridiculous.

*checks* No, neither am I.
