Scientists propose one-way trips to Mars

Scientists propose one-way trips to Mars

Imagine volunteering for this trip! I wonder if there is any organization on earth with the guts to pull something like this off? Of course, the scientists proposing it are a little...eccentric. One of them believes life on Earth came from rocks on Mars.

But is it feasible? The scientists claim early European colonists had little hope of returning to Europe. Well, sure, but they also went to a place that had air they could breath, liquid water, and temperatures that a human can survive in. Mars colonization isn't going to be a trip across the Atlantic.

The idea is still intriguing, though...maybe I'll see people on Mars in my lifetime.
