Re: Would you go to Mars on a one-way ticket?
As much of a geek as I am, I have to say hell no. I wouldn't even go for Tia Carrere.
Mars is a dry desert that is cold as fuck, you can't breath the air, and many other objections. I wouldn't move to Antarctica or the Atacama desert, either. They're both paradise compared to Mars.
Its gravity isn't particularly low either, so it doesn't have the fun-factor that living on Luna would.
I have nothing but respect for those who'd bear the hardships to live there, though.
Me, I'll take Earth or some artificial space colony. They're the future anyway, not quaint planets.
