I am going on a one way trip to Mars, who is with me?

A reality show is supposed to fund the $6 billion dollar trip?

Sounds promising for the astronauts.
 
haha I am with the rest of you and can't make such a "permanent" commitment...no friends (besides the 3 strangers you go with) and nothing else but apparently they have 1000+ applicants already...I can't see myself going but imagine being one of the four, you never have to worry about any of the "earth" worries such as waking up to a job everyday, paying rent, bills etc, you just literally wake up care free and just live everyday...the lazy life, wake up-eat-bang one of the other 2 females or dude if you into that stuff, and sleep... they are planning to repopulate mars and send 4 more every few years

When you wish upon a star..... doesn't matter who you arrrrrrrrrre.... dreams come true. ;)

Something tells me if you had to live F-O-R-E-V-E-R there with you and 3 others, no matter what, who, how, they are.... or looked for that matter.... you'll ALL be "into that stuff". :laughing:

Forget buffing, I'd need a serious AV system with a 200" screen and 22.8 sound system including the biggest DirecTV dish you've ever seen (or could ever imagine), a lifetime of nice Merlot, Shiraz and oh lets throw some Rieslings in there AND a bada$$ hotrod 16 wheel drive air conditioned mars buggy. Never know when you might go cruising and pickup a hot Martian chick! Im the MAN

Dude, really? Maybe no Earth worries, but how about the Mars worries? You think we are dependent on technology here, how about there where you will be dependent on technology for the air you breathe and the water you drink...I don't think it will be "care-free", I think it will be a pretty high workload with a lot of equipment to maintain and parts/help 6 months away.

Yeah exactly and here's a quote from here: Apply Now For A One-Way Trip To Mars | Popular Science

If you're one of the (uh, lucky?) people chosen for the program, you'll move to the United States to spend the next seven years as a full-time, salaried employee of Mars One. Nine months of each year will be spent learning dentistry, emergency medicine, general medicine, engineering, biology, mechanics—anything you might need to know on an inhospitable planet with a population of four.

Maybe I should apply and get paid to learn my dental knowledge :laughing:

Of course, then back out the mission last second like a stud lol

I am thinking of bringing a D/A polisher as one of my items so when E.T or one of his homies come to kick it with me on Mars, I can removal the swirls on their space ships

I want to thank you, rock012345, for keeping this a "Detailing Topic"!!

Speaking of D/A's (and going to Mars):

-We know that the planets being discussed have elliptical orbits.
And..As with other interplanetary travel (Think: Mir Space Station)...
-It's the timing of the shortest distance between two elliptically-orbiting
masses that usually determines the launch time.

-The Hohman Transfer Orbit has mathematically determined
that Mars is closest to Earth every 1.9 years.
-This equates to approximately nine months travel time between
these two masses (planets), using the current propulsion-technology.

However...
-There are those in the Scientific Community that have made advances in what they are calling:
"Outdated ellipitical computations"...
-Thus claiming shorter travel-times between interplanetary masses (planets, asteroids, etc.).

One such advance is called: "Interplanetary Transport Network"

-Within this ITN are "Lagrangian Points" (five ea.) that are position-markers on the elliptical orbits that
masses/planets/interplanetary bodies/objects will occupy at a given point in time.
-These L-points is what allows for shorter travel-distances without relying on two masses' closeness, per se.


That, IMO, is where the D/A...and going to Mars...have something in common.

-There are Lagrangian Points on both of these 'objects' elliptical orbits...
-Wherein the gravitational pull of two masses provides the centripetal-force to orbit with them.
-I'm also thinking of backing plates, buffing-pads, how they travel...Is that also known as "throw"?

Poll:
-For those that have taken the time to read this post of mine:
Say: "Aye"…
-if you want me to tag along (throw the rest of my life away) on the first one-way trip to Mars.

Before I say aye, I want to know how the heck do you know so much Bob??

lol me too, I always wondered what bob does. He always has the most interesting and fun to read post. I admit, sometimes I get lost in the information he post, not because it is inaccurate but its so unorthodox, but definitely fun reads all the time. I always love reading his post no matter what the subject, he always has something informative to add.

And I wonder how long it takes him to make his post the way he does, color;bold;underline etc

Thanks for the response Bob!
 
Hmmm, 2023...I'll be 80...why not...wonder what my chances would be...LOL!

Living in Fremont, Seattle is pretty much living in Mars. You never know what you will see next.

That is FUNNY! Kinda an inside joke for those who don't know the Fremont area.

Wonder what the shipping costs from AG to Mars would work out to?
