Been thinking about it and I'd like to go but it would have to be a return trip.

Am I to understand that there will only be 8 people going on these missions?

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Don't think I'd want to go to Mars.
But I'd certainly give my life up to be able to go into deep space, and keep on going. ALA Carl Sagan's Cosmos style - but for real ! |

Technically it is possible. Not much different than what was needed for Apollo and ISS missions. Just hasn't been dedicated resources applied to it yet...

It is possible but not probable.
We need to develope good hypersonic speeds to go there and make it back in good time. At what cost ?? ....as if there is lots of spare cash in US coffers |

That said, current spacecraft already travel at "hyper-sonic" speeds if compared to the average speed of sound in the earth's atmosphere. And no one is talking about how to "make it back." The proposed mission is a one-way trip. |

This should get this thread deleted.
If we are going to be politically correct than we must send gays on this trip. That of course means no procreation, no children and only the original 8 will perish. Seems like a waste of a couple billion dollars. Because there will be no kids to adopt on Mars. The End.

Hmmm.... Wonder if it is a money-making scam? Sign up, only to be told later, "Sorry, can't go because of....
"The astronauts will undergo a required eight-year training..." Eight years? Holy cow. By the time they learn about fixing their ship, what they have learned will be obsolete!

By fixing their ship, I mean when something goes wrong on the voyage to Mars, as that is the only fixing that will matter.
