Wanted: People Willing to Die on Mars, Proposed One-Way Trip to the Red Planet

[Katashi_itto]

Ever wonder what life is like on Mars? How about death on Mars? By 2023, some space travelers may know both. A private company called Mars One is working on sending astronauts on a one-way mission to the Red Planet.

1. May I suggest the rabid libertarians be tops on the list of volunteers?

They piss and moan about all of the stinkin' gubmint regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere on this planet. Let them move up there where there's no government, no regulations. Everybody is on their own for survival. It should be a 24/7 wet dream for libertarians.

While they're at it, they can take the NRA nuts with them and they can live out their fantasies of owning and using firearms without worrying about Obama taking them away.

3. What have The Martians done to us?

You trying to start an intergalactic war?

4. Weeeelll.....

They're looking for people who play well with others, who can follow as well as lead and function well under bad conditions. I don't think any libertarian or NRA freak would meet those conditions.
I'd love to go. There's nothing here on Earth for me, anymore, and I sure fit the criteria. Wonder if they need anybody who's sixty-three?
Of course, I'd have to start the first extraterrestrial branch of Burning Man!

6. I would go in a heartbeat

There are still a few exciting things to do here on Earth, but what about exploring a new planet doesn't appeal to the best and brightest?

Whoa...sorry, I didn't mean to come off as being so full of myself. But, if they will take the mean and the middle...
