Who Else Wants To Move To Mars? [mars 100] by Nobody: 12:15pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
You’ve probably heard about the people that want to move to Mars, right? No, I’m not talking about a city called Mars – if there’s such a thing – I’m areferring to the Planet Mars. Basically, they’re doing a “research” for life on Planet Mars, and although no one has ever lived on the planet, over 200,000 people have applied to live there. So you might be thinking, how bad can it be? So let me explain. Out of the 200,000 people that have applied, they have been reduced to 100 (I think). The trip is supposed to start in 2024 and will be taking 24 people in 6 groups – one group per couple of years. So one group (of 4 people) goes in 2024 and next goes in 2026, etc. But here’s the catch: It’s a one way ticket. So you’ll be going to Mars, but you won’t be returning. And according to the researchers, the first set of lives are expected to be lost after just about 68 days. So barely two months after they land. There was an interview with a guy who was explaining why he’d like to live on Mars: he’s an astronaut, and it has always been his dream. Yes, he’s aware that he might die two months after he arrives on Mars – maybe even less – and yes, he is married with two kids. But he apparently told his wife before they got married that this was a possibility. His wife said it was okay with her as long as they have kids before he leaves. Mission accomplished. So I could not help but wonder, what would be a “normal” woman’s reaction to her man telling her that some day in the future, he might be going to Mars and never, ever returning. And when the day comes, she would escort him to the space station or wherever it is they take off from, and she would say goodbye forever to him, and then she would go home knowing she might as well call herself a widow because her husband is not coming back. For all she knows, he might fry to death on Mars. When I read stories like this, I wonder, what is wrong with Oyibo people? How can you pack your load and say you’re going to die on purpose? And you’ll leave your wife and kids behind? And your wife is okay with this? What about life and all its parts? Won’t you miss life? So you mean that all the space on the earth isn’t enough for you and your best idea is to move to Mars with no plans of coming back – and die in 68 days I guess moving to a new city, state, country, or continent is just not enough anymore. You know what takes the cake for me? It’s the reason why they’re only buying one-way tickets. It’s not because it’s impossible to return to earth from Mars. No, it’s because it’ll be too expensive to have a return ticket. What!!!! Why not take half the people and use the remaining money for their return ticket? I just don’t understand moving to Mars to die. What’s wrong with dying on earth? I don’t know if there’s life on Mars, but what if life there is different? Like there are still dinosaurs? Or the snakes have 3 heads? Or what if men are really women over there? Oh, wait, we already have this last part on earth. Well, carry on then. P.S. This suicide mission is called Mars 100. |
