Starting with test flights this year!!!

I’m not applying. Every time I go to Mars my luggage ends up on Saturn.

Obama can solve that with a high speed train from DC to Mars.

If I were in similar circumstances, I would sign up.

Yes, if I could convince my husband to go with me.

Why not?

I expect that many of those selected will change their minds rather than go through with it.

Nope not me. Not going, thanks. There might be a peaceful race of tall blue aliens there and we would be invading their planet...and for what? unobatamium? ;-)

I’ve joked about living on Mars now, but this place really isn’t even close at over 9200 feet, dry, windy and cold. The 78,000 applicants are each either joking with no intent of going or insane. One malfunction on Mars, and they’ll be done.

Hmmm. On second thought, after reading some responses from folks willing to take one-way trips to Mars, maybe offers of vacations to Venus would be useful...and of course, far easier...
