No .....Even though it would put a lot of distance between me and my ex wife, which would be good,. I still would not want to leave my kids behind.  Also the planet is pretty barren and there might not be much one could do to entertain themselves. What's more there probably would not be any beer....lol

I hear they have a family crew trip, you can bring everyone with you, so there's no excuses.

G'day Gvp,

Thank you for your question.

I wouldn't go to Mars if I knew that I would die there. I probably wouldn't go anywhere if I knew I was going to die there.

Only reason would be if I would save mankind but that would be an unlikely scenario.

Regards

I guess no one's told you, but you've been on a one way mission to Earth. So I guess you did go someplace where you were going to die. You just didn't have the opportunity to volunteer.

Yes but the timeframe will hopefully be longer and I won't die far from friends and family

No, I have never wanted to go to Mars, and that would make it even worse.

Definitely not for this lady.  My years are numbered (as every one's is, I just happen to have used up a great deal of mine) so,  I do not want to waste what is left of them.  Life is good and I intend to stick around as long as I can.  I know where I shall be spending eternity, I am just in no rush to get there.  This part of the journey has been a good ride, so far with plenty to keep me entertained, astonished and grateful..

Well you have a nice outlook on life, perhaps it is just me and a few others who dream of stepping onto another planet at any cost :)

You probably fly on a plane that way, cruise on a ship and hopefully you do not drive a Toyota LOL

There's nothing wrong with the Toyotas
that can't be compisated by someone with brain.
Gas pedal/throtale sticks....use clutch to down-
shift or just put put your atomatic in Neutral
and bring the car to a stop.
We have a Toyota...and no sticking problems

It was a poorly worded question... Basically meant if you knew you would die out there, but have an okay life otherwise, would you accept the task of starting colonization on that planet :)

Sorry but no. Life is too precious to throw away. Besides, there wouldn't be anyone there for company.

No!  Why would I want to die?  I wouldn't go even if there was a very good chance that I wouldn't die.  I prefer to keep my feet on the good ol' ground.

Hey, GPAC, I have no great wish to be remembered. It would be nice, but if I have to die to do it, no thanks.

Couldn't handle the sense of weightlessness.  
I'd probably drowned before I even got to Mars.
