100 People Agree To Go Live In Mars ...and Never Returnto Earth by teamlee: 9:24am On Feb 21, 2015 |
Journey time to Mars, which is approximately 40 million miles away depending on its position in orbit, would be around 200 days. Some of these Oyibo people are weird sha. 100 of them have agreed to go a one-way mission to Mars - and never return to earth. These 100 people were picked from 200,000 people all over the world who applied for the Mars One mission. They've agreed to die there. Read the bizarre story below... 100 brave souls from around the globe are now vying for a one-way ticket to Mars, knowing they will never return from the Red Planet. The Dutch- based Mars One project - which aims to send people to live on the faraway planet - has whittled down its shortlist of candidates from more than 200k to just 50 men& 50 women, a 3rd of them Americans Among the array of science fanatics, Trekies, physics majors, engineers and doctors, there were also a few more surprising choices, including a singer who was doing a two-man show in New York at the time of his application for the program; an artist with a fascinating family connection to NASA; a mechanic from a remote part of Utah, and an aspiring novelist. Andrew Tunks (left), 28, works in health care technology and in his free time is writing a novel. His goal in life is to reduce suffering in the world; Carmen Paul (right), 32, serves in the National Guard and is an avid techie. From this shortlist, a final crew of four will eventually be sent to Mars, scheduled to arrive in 2025 following a grueling seven-month journey from Earth. Among the 100 prospective Mars colonists, which hail from 40 countries, there are 33 US residents ranging in age from 19 to 60. The American hopefuls come from all walks of life, including PhD students, engineers, artists, medical doctors, and even a singer and a workout trainer. Out of the 33 men and women vying for the honors of traveling to Mars, half a dozen are over the age of 50, including a married father of five. Kay Radzik Warren, a 54-year-old architectural project manager, wants to be a part of a settlement on Mars

Journey Of No Return, Good luck and God speed, learnt the distance is about 99,000,000m and its gonna take them months to get there. They have to be in their protective suits always while going outside. They will make history by the time they launch from the earth "The first set of people to settle on mars." "These people will be the most famous people on the planet,learnt it will be live on the internet and I can’t imagine that a single person with a TV or internet connection wouldn’t tune in when they land on Mars. It would be the biggest media event of all time. Imagine if they have a baby up there. Can you imagine stepping out onto the red Martian soil, looking up, and seeing Earth? Can you imagine that feeling that you will never leave Mars, never step foot on Earth again?" jameystegmaier.com/2012/06/real-world-mars/

smakati: Yes, na so . Typical African, u no go explore or investigate anything, u go just sit down there, but once the goodies start to fly in u will be first in line feeling entitled. |

bebe2:Fyi, I am a researcher, I am currently investigating how to overcome the mechanisms that make Pseudomonas resistant to antibiotics, so bebe, I am not just sitting down. There should be a limit to exploring, have we solved all the problems on earth or let me rephrase, have we explained all the phenomenon on earth? The money that will be wasted on this trip should be diverted to funding reasonable research, think cancer for example. |
Re: 100 People Agree To Go Live In Mars ...and Never Returnto Earth by bebe2(f): 10:24am On Feb 22, 2015 |
smakati: My point exactly. We ve been exploring earth, now let's diversify. Who knows they might get to Mars now and find a simple solution to lots of problems we have here. Good to know u a researcher, u shud be on dat trip |
