    I would love to partake of the opportunity to train for a mission to mars.
    Heck, I would love to move to mars----assuming I was supplied with a comfortable enough "base" to work from. I think I would be the kind of guy that would move there after someone built a huge facility.

    BTW-- "comfortable" means I can eat normal meals without having to do a huge amount of daily rationing, and I don't have to live in constant fear that some sort of life support system will fail. If I'm with a crew, then I have my own personal large space (I don't have to accept a 'submarine" lifestyle where my only space is a little bunk-bed area). I also want most weekends off LOL.

    Do you mean 'life insurance' or 'health insurance'?

    BTW -- a correction to my previous statement: I would put up with submarine-styled living quarters if I was sent to mars to help build a giant facility, and could move in to my own room after it was built.

    just pulling a tooth could get real messy, or a bad cold.

    The space ship would be a bio hazzard by the time it reached Mars.

    in some submarines you don't even get your own bed, they work in 3shifts where one persons goes to sleep when the other one wakes up. So you share the same bed with 2 other guys. Or so I've heard.

    And if I would travel to mars? Only if the earth is abouth to explode or something or when the trip takes a little under 52 hours, with my own hotelroom in the ship
