One-Way Ticket to Mars
Hi All, The tribune ran a story today about a proposal to colonize mars. One way ticket, do or die. Any takers? They suggest it should be older astronauts and no women of child bearing age. The WSU scientist compared it to colonizing America. I guess the big difference would be early colonists had few concerns about breathable air and drinkable water. Erik

Radiation for the colonists probably wasn't a factor either. Let's see, they all should have false teeth so they won't have to worry about cavities, their appendix should be removed, they should have multiple set of progressively stronger glasses on hand, what else should be in the job requirements section? -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of erikhansen@thebluezone.net Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 11:51 AM To: Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Utah-astronomy] One-Way Ticket to Mars Hi All, The tribune ran a story today about a proposal to colonize mars.
