And stay there...

Nasa is planning an audacious mission to send a manned spacecraft on a one-way trip to permanently settle on other planets.

The ambitious idea is known as the Hundred Years Starship and would send astronauts to colonise planets like Mars, knowing they could never come home.

Yup...Red Planet at least has a sweaty Carrie Ann Moss and a exploding Sizemore.

I remember one of the shows on The History Channel's the Universe was about sending robots over to Mars to pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and make the planet more like earth for future settlers. I know that such an option would take awhile but wouldn't that be better than sending a handful of people to a very probably death?

Sweet! When we send the second group, we can all learn about water breathing and grokking and shit.

Actually I heard on "Stardate" ( a really good Astronomy show that broadcasts on NPR) that both Mars and the Moon have fine, razor sharp dust that would shred your lungs if you ever inhaled it, so even Terraforming wouldn't necessarily make either place habitable.

And that sucks. I say we head out to Jupiter and look for the Monolith

I assume if you covered said dust in decayed organic matter (dirt) it would be OK?

Anyway, sign me up for the hundred years starship. I'm in need of a change.... Just dont expect me to follow NASA orders when I get to mars. I'd set myself up as queen and force the crew of hundred years starship 2 to play by *my* rules when they show up
