Default Would You Live On Mars?
I saw where they are sending people to live on Mars, but they won't bring you back, it's a one way ticket. Would you go to be the first people to live on mars?







I don't see why not, I really don't have a life here, except I'd miss my sims.

Well no, I probably wouldn't live on Mars. There's no oxygen there.

I probably wouldn't go with that company. Not really interested in being on reality TV. But in general, I'd like to try it out.

Sounds intriguing, being away from all those idiots I have to life with, but I´ll rather wait a few more years. Once the first, functional colonies are built on Mars I´ll think about truly leaving for Mars. Then again, such a trip will take a lot of money...

I wouldn't want to be one of the first because it might go really wrong and then I couldn't come back. But once people proved its as good as Earth, maybe :D

Life on Mars would probably feel like Sims (basegame), except you won't have pizza or chinese food delivery.

I can't see me walking around in a desert wearing a space suit, so no. I also rely heavily on having usable water supplies... (cough DW cough - and yes, it's TV, but still... *shudders* Ain't gonna go to Mars anyway!).

In any case, Mars probably won't be liveable until I'm around pension age or thereabout, and by then I'm probably still content to stay on Earth.

In a word, yes. Child of the 60s and 70s space programmes, I'd go at the drop of a hat. Problem is, they very (very) likely wouldn't have me - too old and decrepit.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.
I'm here on tumblr and my site, tflc

Hell no. I want to make a meaningful impact on selected bits of society. I can't do that from Mars.

Absolutely. I want internet access though. Can't live in the country without some internet.

I saw the articles you're talking about. A bunch of people who hate their lives on earth so much they're willing to not look back forced onto a dead rock planet, never to return, little communication to planet earth and you're on a reality TV show. Sounds like my personal hell. At least it would be short lived, I imagine within few months it would end in a mass murder-suicide or free for all Hunger Games style battle.

From a viewers' stand point that would be television gold though.

No, I am sure it would be quite horrible, with disgusting space food, uncomfortable suits and no internet connection. You would end up locked into some kind of space port with people you disliked. Somehow I don't think it would be rosy like "Lost in Space". Although like Maxon, I'm way too old and decrepit, they would take one look and toss me out. I like my comfort.

Plus, think about it. On every "reality" show, they have one character that is a bitch/bastard. They are whiny, conniving, two faced individuals who border on psychopathic tendencies. This is great for ratings. NOT so great for being stuck on a planet with.

I would not go, but there are people for whom I would participate in a collection to pay for a ticket.

Lol, like we were for all those English convicts 200 years ago. Ship all the crims off to mars, I like that idea.

Can we also send off all the crappy animals? Like nobody gives a shit about magpies and crabs and cane toads. Let's ship them off to Mars. Put them in the arena we send all of earth's dregs to and have a full on Hunger Games battle to watch. Quick! Let's start a Kick Stater for this.

So Mars will end up being just like Australia but with a colder climate.

And minus all the *cough*dangerous*cough* pretty animals. Oh but tell me if there are some cute fauna there, then I'll consider moving to Mars. Is it free?

Hey there! :)

No, you have to pay for the spaceship yourself.

I thought if they ship you there for entertainment (or science) it's supposed to be free? Anyway, they need to first be able to extract water from Mars otherwise the show will be rather short lived.

Hell no.At first it's atmosphere is not suitable for life.Second thing is that people will be like a experimental rats - always on watch.The whole world will know what they eating,with what they are sleeping,I think someone really can go crazy because of this.Also when things go wrong(always left chance that something bad can happen) we just be able to watch they suffer and do nothing,cuz the ticket only to one side.

Eh, if people "always want to watch" me then that's great. Everyone take a good, long hard look. So what? I'd be so far away from giving a shit anymore...and I'd be on Mars! While everyone else was stressing about my terrible personal habits, I'd be in the history books with my terrible person habits, so screw 'em.

I'm just imagining the kind of records in the history books that Mistermook might set. So far, I've come up with:

- First person on Mars to scratch his "area" in public.
- First person on Mars to dance naked.
- First person on Mars to do the watusi. (see #2)
- First person on Mars to leave a "Silent, But Deadly".
- First person on Mars to get "voted off the island".
- Last person on Mars to survive. (Take THAT, suckers!)
