Chance to explore a new frontier: one-way trip to Mars!

Alan Boyle writes: Will the first explorers to visit Mars come back to Earth? Or does it actually make more sense to leave them there? The idea of sending the Red Planet's first settlers on one-way trips has been kicking around for years, and now two researchers have published a paper in the Journal of Cosmology laying out how such missions could play out between now and 2035.

"It is important to realize that this is not a 'suicide mission,'" Washington State University's Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Arizona State University's Paul Davies write. "The astronauts would go to Mars with the intention of staying for the rest of their lives, as trailblazers of a permanent human Mars colony."

In a WSU news release, Davies said the concept follows the model set by past human settlements of new lands. "It would really be little different from the first white settlers of the North American continent, who left Europe with little expectation of return," he said.

If you are weighing the fish on Mars, a 50lb'er on Earth only weighs 19lbs on Mars! A 50lb'er on Mars weighs 138lbs on Earth....:uhuh:

KAHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know....I saw those "sand worms" in "Dune" and those suckas fought back!

Since they have been spending so much time looking for MOISTURE on Mars, I doubt that fishing would be worth it.

Hunting, on the other hand could be interesting.
Martian turkeys the size of a VW bus, migratory 6-legged gator-bats and carnivorous deer/spiders would be a real trophy.
Since there are no trees, all hunting will be from stalking or from blinds.

Oh, and hunting gear will be lasers and missile launching crossbows!

Yee-haw!!!
