Would you move to Mars

[dcv]

You wouldn't need to worry about your nice shoes getting dirty. Red dust wouldn't show up on red shoes.

Ooooo

Next thing to consider then: can I get a decent Cosmopolitan?

"Martian men can move unseen", so it is unknown at this time what their true nature is.
I say let's get it going already - perhaps siphon off some pollution here and ship it there to help create greenhouse effect there and warm it up..

If they figure out how to get oxygen on there, I'm there.

Don't put me in charge of piloting our ship to Mars. Since red isn't my best color, I'm liable to miss it and we'll end up lost in the Asteroid Belt. And I never ask for directions when I'm driving.

 

[beatsme]

if it had been successfully terraformed, why not? In its current state, no way. Why travel to Mars to live in a desert when, with almost the same degree of difficulty, I can move to the Gobi.

Red Planet.....remember? There's oxygen.

I wonder if they have Lube™ on mars.

This is what happens when you try to breath on Mars:

a good series of novels about colonizing Mars is Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson.

I would think about it, but it would really depend on how the internet connection works up there.

NASA is working on getting a 10Mbit connection up and running. Planned to be launched 2010 or so. It will only work 9 months of the year so they would need to put in a relay station or two eventually.

Be forewarned though. There is a lag time of up to an hour round trip. Web browsing wouldn't work but email and netnews would be fine

I'd move if Earth was destroyed, but only if I could grow and smoke weed.

See, that's one good reason! Mars is gonna be the weed-growers paradise! I guess the only problem would be getting it to market.

Special effects have come a long way since Total Recall.

So far, all the movies about Mars have been real stinkers. (mostly talking about Red Planet and Mission to Mars)

luv ya bunches! xoxoxo

 

[Doctor Q]

Who cares about the Internet connection to Earth? As long as their are enough of us on Mars, we'll have our own Martian intranet so we can chat about who saw the eclipse when the Earth passed in front of the sun.

 

[spicyapple]

I wonder if they have Lube™ on mars.

They do, but only very limited supplies as most have to be shipped from Earth, which could take months! Oh the horror! There is Lube™ substitute made from spit and martian dust. But then you wouldn't know if you were lubricated or chafed.

luv ya bunches! xoxoxo

NO SPEED CAMERAS



Although if your German you get to drive as fast as you want on the autobahn so no need, but a definate thumbs up for the rest of the world.

Changing a flat tire on the autobahn looms as one of the top scary moments of my life. Mars couldn't be much worse than there.

You should have pulled onto the hard shoulder. You aren't supposed to do repairs in the fast lane.

Need one of those big multi wheelers from Aliens... Gear changes might be a "tad" hard though.
