More than 100,000 want to go to Mars and not return, project says

More than 100,000 people are eager to make themselves at home on another planet. They've applied for a one-way trip to Mars, hoping to be chosen to spend the rest of their lives on uncharted territory, according to an organization planning the manned missions.

The Mars One project wants to colonize the red planet, beginning in 2022. There are financial and practical questions about this venture that haven't been clarified. Will there be enough money? Will people really be able to survive on Mars? But these haven't stopped some 30,000 Americans from signing up.

There are a lot of people in DUmmieland who say they are more pro science than us (but they are definitely more anti-math). Here is their chance to step up and prove it!

Capitalism is based on self-interest and self-esteem; it holds integrity and trustworthiness as cardinal virtues and makes them pay off in the marketplace, thus demanding that men survive by means of virtue, not vices. It is this superlatively moral system that the welfare statists propose to improve upon by means of preventative law, snooping bureaucrats, and the chronic goad of fear.
 - Alan Greenspan, The Assault on Integrity (1963)

There is a 30,000 number and a 100,000 number. This seems like a case of prima facie case of contradiction.
Before they go they should solve the problem of manmade martian warming.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Anyone 18 or older may apply, but the fee depends on a user's nationality. For Americans, it's $38; if you're in Mexico, however, it's a mere $15.

Hopefully if one is an 0bama supporter the fee gets waived.

They'd go nuts trying to figure out which way to face for prayers, and whether to use Mars time or Earth time...maybe there would be two sects based on that who would start killing each other...

H5 DD. You mad me laugh!

As an afterthought... I hope all the dummies go. I bet when their survival is at stake, they might just understand how the rest of us feel.
