Could be cool for a few days, but after that I can imagine myself turning into this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KE0njnZXyY&feature=player_detailpage[/media]
Mars probably can't be terraformed; it's gravity is too low to sustain an atmosphere, and it has a very weak magnetic field, so it wouldn't be protected from solar wind, the atmosphere would literally blow away
I'd go. Seriously, if my back weren't in such bad shape as to mean i'd never be accepted, I would honestly go.

Mars gravity isn't as ludicrous as people think, it'd essentially cut your weight in half, but the physics are still comparable to earth, unlike the moon which has gravity nearly 3 times weaker than mars, and you can fucking propel yourself into the air.
Guys guys... why don't we just wait until we have the technology to get there and back

[QUOTE=Falchion;39958689]Some people can survive in isolation, it's not like you are even totally alone and after some more time I'd imagine more people will come to research and work on mars if this works out.[/QUOTE] When you go into isolation for an exceptionally long period of time, odds are, you're not coming out alone.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;39959442]I'm pretty sure the lack of atmosphere has more to do with the weak magnetic field than the gravity.[/QUOTE] [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_escape]Actually it doesn't, but it does help.[/URL]
[QUOTE=cheezey;39959928]The project is a reality show.[/QUOTE] Big Brother on mars would be interesting getting evicted would mean you'd die
What would the rooms/city/town look like
Just imagine being the last guy on mars when the rest of the crew have died. That would be really scary.

I am going but only one with 5 robots. Two of them are huge, strong, powerful, destroyer, diggers and builders, which can easily transform the surface of Mars. Another two will be professionals in engineering, technology, biology, and chemistries, can fix everything, and build anything and last will be my [del]sex toy[/del] secretary, which will be very [del]beautiful[/del] talent, will do medic stuff, all other work that i lazy too do and she will have whole backup of wikipedia.
I would go. I'm an EE student, but I'm assuming they're looking for successful researchers/scientists already well into their careers. It's too bad there's not any sort of criteria. I guess the assumption is that, as another poster stated, they're not just gonna "pick any random person" and that there's no real application process for civilians like us. It would make sense to recruit from within a pool of military scientists and engineers.

All I want to see is Big Brother: Mars Edition. 15 people and a rocket full of booze. What could possibly go wrong?
Nobody will watch it + god knows how long it would take to transmit the videos back to earth
Id do it, im not sticking to life much more.
pfft who needs an atmosphere? just build giant glass domes
They just gonna be drinking eachother's recycled pee and fucking for the rest of their lives
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;39971873]They just gonna be drinking eachother's recycled pee and fucking for the rest of their lives[/QUOTE] Sign me the fuck UP!
[QUOTE=Eric95;39970302]pfft who needs an atmosphere? just build giant glass domes[/QUOTE] That's pretty smart to me, send annual amounts of glass and metal panels and they've got like (I want to say at least) 1 acre of space so that they wont drive each other mad so fast, make a biodome.
[QUOTE=pinecleandog;39968658]Nobody will watch it + god knows how long it would take to transmit the videos back to earth[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure we know almost exactly how long it would take to transmit videos back to Earth from Mars because we've been communicating with our rovers on that planet for... how many years? Since the early 70s? Not to mention that it's all transmitted with EM waves and they obey the speed of light and all that, which is [i]pretty[/i] consistent. There's also the fact that, unless they're trying to stream live video, they'd just edit it and air it at a later date just like how the rest of television works.
The more I think about it, the more the idea of going grows on me. I'd love to be the first to start something, to start fresh on another world and to begin a new colony on mars for humans. You would potentially be immortalized forever. Who can stop you? You could leave your name everywhere/have plaques, photos, and statues for other generations of humans to see forever. You would certainly never be forgotten, and for this it tempts me to try and volunteer.

I'd be willing to if I was about 45 years or older, and I was guaranteed to be the first person to walk on Mars
