The Robot Devil molon labe. Public Disorder. 1508	Posted - 2014.01.12 17:14:00 - [13] - Quote Until further notice all trips to the surface of mars is one way. Look what it takes to get off of Earth, Mars will have a similar requirements to achieve orbit. If I didn't have children I would go. People now days are too afraid of things, if people had been this scared of everything through out history we would all still be living in caves watching the latest version of That Fire Show everyone likes. People have to risk to be rewarded and I think a few one way trips would speed up the exploration of our solar system. GÇ£No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride."

Sole Fenychs Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 51	Posted - 2014.01.12 17:33:00 - [17] - Quote Even if you build a rocket on Mars, you can't go back. That's because Earth's gravity would crush you after becoming accustomed to Mars gravity. Anyway, it's sad to see their Indiegogo campaign barely getting any funds. Meanwhile, silly phone gadgets on Kickstarter are funded after two minutes and don't even provide anything that would make them better than existing tech. This is kind of depressing. And reminds me that we are living in a cyberpunk world.

They've been looking more and more reputable recently. Their current plan is to send their first rover in 2016 (or was it 2018?) as a proof of concept. First humans in 2025. And then every two years four new settlers. Read their website. It's actually well thought-out.

Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 4765	Posted - 2014.01.12 18:29:00 - [28] - Quote Who wants to get into this wooden boat with me and sail West into what may or may not be an endless ocean? I agree that people are too scared now a days, probably because so much is known about the world we live in and we don't have to deal too much with the unknown.

Zirzo Valcyn Holdfast Syndicate Amarr Empire 52	Posted - 2014.01.12 18:40:00 - [29] - Quote i'm sure at first it would be a honeymoon but after that wears off your staring at an endless wasteland and growing carrots in a little box. and you'll probably suffer somehow physically over time from the change in gravity. any relevant find of artifacts or life will be censored and that could add to psycological factor of what are we even doing here. u can ban the troll out of the forums but u can't ban the forums out of the troll.

I agree that people in general have become more chicken than they were in the past but this simply not the case in this instance. Every single expedition into the uncharted either has had some faith and assurance in case of something going wrong, mainly hopping on whatever they used to get there and going home, OR sent the unwanteds, prisoners, soldiers, poor people..etc. A "Mars ~~suicide~~ one-way trip" is kind tough sell.

True Adamance Kameira Lodge Amarr Empire 5578	Posted - 2014.01.12 18:52:00 - [31] - Quote I don't know that being afraid of something like that is unreasonable. While volunteering for advancing humanity in a meaningful way is noble of course it comes at a huge personal sacrifice, and not just your life, which admittedly is not something you'd understand until you did it. I honestly don't know if I could do something like that. To a Texan like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Gunlogi. Reference = ISK

So you want them to send people to Mars and then ship the radiometers to your home? What, exactly, do you need to believe them? The website clearly states how high radiation exposure is and how they'll counter it (by warning the astronauts so that they can enter a safe room in their space ship while travelling through space during solar storms and by using soil when living on Mars), so I don't see what's there to proof. It's not like space travel or radiation is actually new. The new part is interplanetary space travel, which can be extrapolated from known facts.

TunRa NEW OMENS 360	Posted - 2014.01.12 22:06:00 - [37] - Quote This whole thread is full of fear of the unknown but also a lot of hope and curiosity. There are two types of people in this world, those who take risks and those who don't. Without out one the other would be dead. We need people to take risks to advance as a species but we need people to fear so we can survive as a species. How do you think we made it this far? Just thought I would point this out due to the arguments going on even tho they are not serious. Thanks CCP Foxfour
Jungian Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 290	Posted - 2014.01.12 22:28:00 - [38] - Quote Nobody in their right mind should sign up on a suicide mission these days. With an avg of 70% failrate of missions to Mars...I really dont see the virgin voyage going smoothly as they predict. Its gonna fail. Hard. Venturing into the unknown was done 200 years ago, with people going to the north and south pole and was never seen again. This Mars One thing is gonna be livestreamed for the masses and has been marketed quite wildly. Its not gonna be a venture into the unknown. Science knows a lot about Mars already. http://www.twitch.tv/rnd_jungian/ In New Eden no one can hear you whine.
ANON Cerberus Tiny Toons 11	Posted - 2014.01.12 22:58:00 - [39] - Quote A trip in space sounds amazing. That said - you have to be certifiable to go along on that mission. Still I wish them good luck.
Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens League of Infamy 300	Posted - 2014.01.12 23:16:00 - [40] - Quote No. I wouldn't. Here is my reasoning: it is way too much like being dead. When you are dead, you are away from the things that give you pleasure (family, friends, possessions) and have no bearing or say in the world. Honestly, that is how I see it. A one way trip to a new country is one thing. A one way trip 100 million miles away for complete and total uncertainty is 'death'. Be well. -Joseph.

One shot in a harsh, unforgiving and deadly universe. If we are to have any chance we have to be in two places, Earth is overdue for an extinction level event. Yet we can't get past our petty squabbles and stop killing one another. A human is perhaps the most amazing thing in this universe and humans working together are even more so. But theses no point if the rest of the universe never knew we existed out side of our electronic signals sent into space. Henchmen21: Infantry Gotyougood Ufkr: Vehicles

To be fair, back in the days of early exploration to the West it was pretty much like that as well. There wasn't really any turning back, and once you got their you had no influence on the world you left behind. And many did leave their families to do so. However, you build a new family (even if just a symbolic family) with those who left with you. You play a big role in shaping the new world you go to. I wouldn't call it anywhere close to "dead." In fact, the people who embark on the mission could end up knowing what living is more than anyone on Earth. And as a side note, it is incredibly brave to be among the first pioneers to a new unknown world, to perhaps pave the way for those not yet born to have a better life. There is no telling what humanity will accomplish in the future, and it is extremely noble for anyone to risk their for a mission knowing that they will never see the fruits of their labors in their lifetime.
