Trip to Mars

A few thousand people applied for a one way trip to Mars, only because they thought it would help them Work, Rest and Play, was anyone here amongst the few thousand?.

Re: Trip to Mars

According to last night's program the trip is decades away yet and will be a two way trip, so some of the potential astronauts probably haven't been born yet...

That's probably very true Plantman, and the ones that already put their names down will have to have their ashes shot up there instead by then I should think.
I saw an odd bit of telly yesterday saying something about the return trip would cost loads more than the outgoing trip, that's bit weird isn't it?

Re: Trip to Mars

It's because it's uphill on the way back.
