Reality Show on Mars Could Fund Manned Colony by 2023 | Mars One | Space.com
This article presents a very interesting concept for putting humans on Mars -- do you think it will work?
The concept is very thought provoking, and I keep thinking about it -- For example:
- Would you want to go to Mars to live, knowing you would never return?
- Lets see, who would we like to see go to Mars and never be able to come back?
- Send some serial killer? Some political despot? Give criminals a reprieve if they volunteer to go into training for the job?
- How will they select people to go?
- Would they select young people, who would have to live for a long time there? --Are Grandchildren Kris & Julia ready to start training?
- Or old folks who wouldn't live as long and require resupply for 60 years? -- Where do I go to sign up?
- Old folks wouldn't be as interesting on TV? --Or would we be more interesting?
- If you were selected, would you worry that the company could go bankrupt after you got there and quit sending supplies?
- I can see how the world would be interested in the "reality TV" for a while --but how long would it last?
