Would you have a one way ticket to live on Mars?

Definitely interesting, but the whole place would  be dead. If I had friends there with internet and pc, yes, sure. :D

Nope. The only way I'd go is if I can come back. It's just as Elon Musk said, if you give people the chance to come back, they'd actually go and might even end up staying; but as long as they can't come back, they wouldn't go because there's a good chance they will regret staying there, so they won't risk facing this scenario.


no thx. it takes about 3years to arrive on mars

Not necessarily; with today's tech, a trip to Mars takes about 300 days. So, at worst, a two-way trip would take about 20 months :) I know, I know... Still A LOT of time

Richard C. Hoagland, on Coast To Coast AM, compared colonizing Mars to Europeans colonizing the Americas. Meaning that it would be doable. But a caller pointed out that the Americas have oxygen.

I'd love to live on Mars for a while, maybe even forever if it was settled enough where I could go to a McDonald's there or Disneyland Mars. But until these things are possible, I'll stick to my amenities on the homeworld. I don't like roughing it. I'm not even into camping.  :pout:

Mars looks completely desolate, yet at different speed of perception. It's another world.

Still, I wouldn't "live" in mars. I'm probably at mars, right now. Not this "self" typing on keybord, though. Still, It's said martian are belic forms of society. Feisty ones.

Although I'd go to venus. Where the pleasure of beauty in life, sexuality and music, is of the highest quality.

What am I supposed to do there? Count rocks?

 

I'll pass. Some other chump can have my ticket.

No way. Would I love to visit? Sure; but to live there permanently and never come back to Earth? You couldn't pay me a trillion dollars to do that.  :P

 

I would miss all the natural beauty, freedom, and greenery we have here on Earth. By comparison, Mars is absolutely ugly compared to Earth. We have mountains, glaciers, forests, lakes, coasts, rivers, flowers, etc. Mars has absolutely none of that.

Not to mention I'd miss home, friends, and family. I'd especially miss my "home", Oregon and Washington.

It actually depends. Earth and Mars can be as short as a 9 month trip or actually as long as 3 years. They're not in a constant location, so a Hohmann transfer can heavily vary in time. If we're talking about two way trips, it'll actually be longer than 20 months even if you immediately touched down and got back up, because the time the transfer would take would be increase, assuming you took the shortest route when you landed.
