Hypothetical question.

The government want people to test out the feasibility of humans living on the Moon. They establish a Moon base and are looking for 100 individuals to move to the Moon for a 2 year period to make a go of the base.

During the 2 years no return visits to Earth are permitted but at the end of 2 years, the individuals are given the option of staying or returning to Earth.

The base is fully set up with leisure facilities, communal areas, and individuals will be given roles within the community. Accommodation is in the form of small one bedroom living pods with their own kitchen and bathroom.

Food is grown on the Moon in vast technologically advanced greenhouses, and water is also filtered and extracted. There are emergency supplies of food and water if anything goes drastically wrong.

The downside is that if there are any negative effects of living in space, any accidents, or it all goes spectacularly wrong, the government cannot be liable. It’s entirely your own risk.

In return for their time, the volunteers will receive a payment of £25 million and £100 Amazon voucher on completion of the two years.

AIBU to ask if you’re going to volunteer?

Don't bother. I offered that but it was a bigly NO from him...and to think I bent over backwards for that guy... (That was a bigly NO too).

That's funny, because to everyone else in the world it looked like you bent over forwards for him.
