Moving to Mars?
- Thread starter gozpel
- Start date
If they land safely and IF they get their gear together, they might have a chance to survive.
Building the camp is of course the New Robinson Theme. 4 ppl doing this and hopefully not all are males. I think 2-2 in genders, but with unique skills.
Problem with phones etc, is that Mars will be be blocked by the sun for at least a third of it's cycle, meaning 200 days without connection to your WiFi! At least.
4 ppl going there, probably 3 minute-responses from earth.
If the gear is there, they can survive for a while, but how do they want to expand it?
Robotized stuff is in the making, to grab usefull resources, but will that be enough?

You land a hab, then return those people to Earth when a conjuction trajectory comes around again. You keep doing this in different places until you find a spot that doesn't scream 'Invalid Base Site'. What you really want to find is a geothermal water vent, which probably exists.
You then start plunking habs down next to each other in subsequent missions, until you build up a small town. You obviously need to keep ferrying basic supplies from Earth, but that's not too hard really. Given that you can manufacture fuels on the surface to fuel a rover, you just need to get it within a few kilometers.
My life is on the wrong track now, but I certainly would've been rarin' to go when I was younger.
This is a new opportunity for an adventurous spirit, like the Antarctic explorers of old.

It would be a bit messy to clean up after the cannibalism.

Right now, no. If I get tired of Earth and like the people who would be accompanying me on the voyage... possibly. On a mission like this, the company is important, and I suspect they would probably screen on that before sending people off. As much as it probably helps to be with people you get along with great on the ISS, I'm sure it only becomes more of an issue if you're getting sent off to Mars forever.
Considering that you have to die some other way to meet that goal, I'm not sure I'd term it an aspirable goal even on Earth. Yes, ultimately you don't want it to happen to you... but it's more like something to avoid rather than a goal to meet.
