Mars
« on: March 01, 2011, 07:55:38 PM »
What are your thoughts on Mars? 

Is it a viable alternative to earth in the event of armageddon?

Is it a viable colony?

If you were asked to go as the first man on mars, would you do it?*

My answers:
Yes, assuming the escape pods aren't shredded
Yes, the amount of minerals there is astounding
Yes!  It is every human being's duty!

As long as Carrie Moss can go, and no one else.  Perhaps a back-up Carrie Moss.

I'm, ah, in.

The trip to Mars, you know.
