Does anyone have any desire whatsoever to live on Mars ?

[LaurieFairyCake]

I really, really don’t. I have no interest in even going into space never mind travelling to another planet.

As an Oxford United fan I can verify this as true.

I fear that Mars in the apocalypse will be inhabited by Trump, Putin, Musk and various other cunts. I would prefer to die.

Not read everyone’s comments, I’m sorry if I coincide.

what’s the point of humans moving to Mars or anywhere else come to that?

we’d only fuck it up like we have here.

Sorry I know it’s meant to be “lighthearted”, so in the spitit of the thread -

I think the males might be happy to be be there, as in the book “Men Are From Mars”

I thought it was Musk that was on about Mars anyway.

Hadn't thought of that ! 😁 Maybe Mars has something going for it after all. I must say though, regarding space, having read Douglas Adams, I wouldn't mind trying one of those Intergalactic Gargle Blaster thingummies or whatever they were called (been a while since I read the books). Going to dine in The Restaruant At the End of The Universe could be fun.

Gravity is different. I'd be taller.

With that in mind, the assumption is we could live on Mars. But given the difference in impact on the human body that raises a lot of questions.

Particularly when you consider the development of the human body. What would it do to children? Would it impact pregnancy?

These questions are impossible to answer at this stage and requires experimentation. Further to this, there's ethical questions about the first children on Mars and experimenting with children.

@stargirl1701 I thought you were talking about Swindon.

Exactly!

Though of course his bladder will have packed in due to the ketamine and the lack of supplies will bring him down.

Curious as to whether the people watching/.reading (?) Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers are locked in their homes at 5.30 in their PJs?

@Shenmen Good point, forgot about the old ketamine there. So it won't just be cold but also will be covered in piss. And the only way to get about will be by Tesla, except there's no plug sockets.

Can't say it appeals.

Not even a little bit but it is my hope that all the dick heads build themselves massive spaceship and bugger off there soon!

No, it would be shit.

I remember hearing an interview with one of the women who were going. All the people who went would never be able to come back to Earth, they knew they would die there. She was fine with that, and with never seeing any family member again. They would have to live their lives in some sort of atmospherically controlled domes.
I couldn't imagine not being able to go outside and breathe air. I would hate the look of the landscape. I absolutely hated the look of Lanzarote with its barren bare lunar landscape rocks, I couldn't stand the look of living on the moon let alone Mars.
In millions of years, as the sun expands and gets hotter we and everything on earth will become extinct and the earth will be uninhabitable, but that's fine, everything has a finite life.

Couldn't have said it better myself

No, but if there’s an option to send some people (I can give you a list) to Mars can I do that please?

Hahaha.

it actually kind of pisses me off because millions if not billions are going to be spent on it which could be better spent on Earth. All those amazing brains trying to figure out how to live on Mars could instead be trying to figure out wealth distribution and equal living standards across all countries here on earth. But hey. Maybe they’ll move onto all that once they’ve got bored

Life on mars? Hmm, only if Gene Hunt is there😍😉

I was going to say the same, I've lived in worse places 😂

😂

Right now? DH is away with work and I'm home alone with two hot, overtired, clingy children... I'd move anywhere if it was alone 😆
