NASA Mars mission a one-way trip... - GoFuckYourself.com

Danmixz · 11-06-2010, 11:35 PM

IT'S the biggest dead-end job ever.
NASA is looking for volunteers to fly to Mars - the snag is that you won't come back.

It is actively investigating the possibility of humans colonising worlds such as the Red Planet.

The settlers would be sent supplies from Earth but would go on the understanding that it would be too costly to bring them home.

NASA revealed that it had already received more than $1 million to commence work on the project at its Ames Research Centre in California.

Centre director Pete Worden, who claimed humans could be living on Mars by 2030 despite the inhospitable conditions, said: "The human space program is now aimed at settling other worlds.

Any volunteers ??

HBKKH · 11-06-2010, 11:39 PM

Who's coming with me??

2intense · 11-07-2010, 12:08 AM

why mars ? why not first test stuff out on the moon, learn some lessons there and move on to the next planet ?

Travelling to other planets is really tough without wormholes.

Besides who wants to go on a freaking suicide mission ?

ContentPimp · 11-07-2010, 12:13 AM

I am sure they will find plenty of volunteers

Who says we aren't. We won't send anyone to Mars until 2030 at the earliest.

Because if they really try to go to the moon they are going to expose the bullshit moon landings of the 60's. I can't believe that the fact that man never landed on the moon is still being debated, it's clear as day that it never happened.

AdultKing · 11-07-2010, 12:18 AM

They have scaled back the plans to go to the Moon again. The USA seems to have lost it's yearning to explore the solar system with anything other than robotic craft.

I doubt a manned Mars mission is likely any time within the next 30 years. This article is just a Sunday beat up from the worst media organization Australia has.

Zorgman · 11-07-2010, 12:39 AM

I would go!

Can see that turning into a Lord of the Flies type scenario.

Paul Markham · 11-07-2010, 05:19 AM

The big question is why?

The moon landings brought little real profit or advancement. Yes some of the technology used was helpful but it would of been developed anyway.

Putting up satellites orbiting the Earth is profitable and advances civilisation. And they put them up all the time. In fact it's getting crowded up there.

Don't see a Mars trip bringing the same benefits and unless they are there it will be a fad that passes. The robots up there aren't exactly sending back information there's some precious mineral on Mars we need so badly.

Spend the money on climate change and get some good from it.

Maybe this is the point. Maybe they know that we have gone to far and the earth is doomed, so we need to seed another planet for the race to survive? Mar's just being the first test shot.

TeenCat · 11-07-2010, 05:45 AM

why to ask why? if we will not try our limits we will still be on trees ... now or soon, we will get somewhere

Kiopa_Matt · 11-07-2010, 05:46 AM

Especially considering our population growth, and depleting resources, us humans simply can not sustain our species on Earth.

TeenCat · 11-07-2010, 05:59 AM

btw im going, i want to see kids of your kids living on mars and studying in teencats college and living in teencats southern crater suburb

Yeah, there ain't no WallMart next block to buy what you forgot or what broke

What happen if the few girls up there die (or the men)? They have to start from scratch all over again

But seriously, i'm sure people will jump into this venture as weird as it seems. It will be one way trips for years and years until we have something "affordable" to bring people back and forth.

That is the point

It's funny how some people think the earth is an unlimited space with unlimited resources. Here's how simple it is. If you use up more than you can replenish, you will eventually run out.

We have three choices. Conserve, replenish or expand our horizon

DWB · 11-07-2010, 07:50 AM

you realize thats like giving a kid a nickel and telling him to go shop for an automobile.

All that is just appropriation money to keep some jobs and keep NASA occupied with something since the shuttle program is scrapped. It's nothing more than giving a kid a spongebob DVD to entertain him while you clean the house.

If there was no coming back people are way less willing to go. And if you think of the type of people that are willing to go one way already, have no friends and probably have some kind of mental defect.

The volunteers would probably be mostly web masters. But i don't think they make XXXXXXL space suits.

There are two invisible rings of radiation trapped by the Earth?s magnetic field in the upper atmosphere situated about 3,000 and 15,000 kilometers above the surface. These belts of radiation are named Van Allen radiation belts after the physicist James Van Allen who had discovered them in 1958. Van Allen belts contain high-energy, charged subatomic (electrons and protons) particles emitted by solar flares and carried by solar wind. If the Earth?s magnetic field had not trapped these subatomic particles and held them in the form of thick belts or rigs away from the Earth their radiation measuring 3,00,000 electron volt would have charred all the living beings to death. The astronauts going to the Moon have to go through these belts and the journey through these belts would have been fatal for them. Conclusion: Manned Moon missions have not taken place. End of debate

Also man has never gone under water as there is no oxygen for them to breath and they would certainly drown. Oh wait, they covered their ass in a submarine.

Rrrrright. So those guys cleaning up the chernobyl reactor after its explosion are a myth, too?
PS: Some of them still live today.

The bigger problem is all the man-made crap that is floating around up there.

But I do believe that we never went to the moon.
Why would it have been possible to go there in record time when we now - 50 years later - cannot accomplish to go there?

well..

there is a chance they american'd it up and just turned everything off to go through the thinnest part of the belt

The odds on Mars being able to support life are extreme. So far with all the telescopes we have there has been no places discovered that could support life. Assuming we have the technology to get there and survive the journey, no gravity is a killer. If your body adapts to it when you land you get crushed.

We have no options, the Earth is all we have. Spending trillions trying to get off it is wasting money that might be better spent saving the planet.

Watch the movie " Mission to Mars ".

It would start off something like that.

About your assessment of Mar's gravity, how do those Mars rovers that collect data and send pictures back to earth operate and stay on the ground?
