You remind me of something - some scientists recently came out and said, basically, "If you want to explore the galaxy cheaply - find people who'll do it as a one-way trip"

One way trip to Mars? Count me in! Assuming I get the tools & equipment to build sustainable shelter once I get there..

although as Elton warned us, "Mars ain't the place to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell" wise words from the chubby funster  :(

Sadly it's been quite a while since I've stared into a black hole.
