I doubt very much it is a scam..

 

I don't think the survival rate will be very high... but given that they plan (planned?) on generating revenue from reality TV cameras throughout the base, I think the inevitable gruesome space death might boost ratings.

 

but what if someone goes psycho on TV ?.......Ratings will skyrocket

No real surprises. Knowing NASA's own estimates of cost, hardware, manpower and time needed to go to Mars, I've always been under the impression that this was either a pie-in-the-sky dream that would go nowhere, or a scam.

It doesn't seem so, but in real there is a bacteria that produces oxygen and martian frogs also live on mars. Also moreover the Polar Ice there is subterranean water on Mars. 100% proven.

 

So there we have provided for you pioneer immigrants: Air, Food and Water

Isn't the Moon a better place to start a colony?

I think most smart people knew it was a scam and that it was never going to work. These "finalists" clearly had their heads stuck too far up their asses to realize that they were being duped.

 

There's even a martian among the potential candidates. He's gonna be pissed he can never return home.

AHAHAHA. So this whole thing is just a joke? Good one NASA... wait. It's completely serious? Can we send those people's immediate families up there with them.

Why?

Their families aren't directly responsible for these people being borderline schizophrenic?

 

Ok, that's a lie because of genetics, but still...

Peter Griffin addressed that in Family Guy. In space, there's a lot of time to... enjoy yourself... but after a while, it's like living in a snowglobe?

 

But as an Englishman, my main concern would be whether or not there's any tea on this spaceship?

 

:lol: :P

Ideally, you would want the crew to multiply, since it is a one-way trip and you'd need the colony to not die out. Assuming the whole thing doesn't go belly up in the first two years, you'd want people continuing the species, so to speak.

Which, of course, leads to issues of expansion and sustainability - if someone isn't knocked up or murdered in the first twenty four months, I will be beyond surprised. So how do you account for the extra food, water and life support functionalities, let alone space? There needs to be a well-established point where the colonists can not only survive without direct assistance from Earth, but be able to expand and be self-sufficient, at least to some moderate degree.

I was watching the movie interstellar. Stop reading right here if you haven't watched the movie. This post contains spoilers.

 

In the movie the earth is dying. They send people into space different worlds to find out which world would the best suited for earth. They send the initial people. (I think its around 5 separate people) to different worlds. They have to brave. If that world doesn't contain the life saving materials they need. That person is stuck on that world till they grow old and move on.

 

It's a scary concept that you can be sent to a world without knowing if it could support human life. If it doesn't. Then you pretty much are stuck there in an alien world forever. If it does contain lift saving material. The person would put off a beacon that signaled to the other machines. It was interesting. This one person stuck on a world. They knew it wasn't life saving.

 

They sent the signal regardless. When they arrived then found him. He said " I hope you never know how good it feels to see another face. As he started crying holding to the other guy.

 

My point is. Everyone seems normal at first. Like the movies. They want go to another planet. Given a few years on another planet with only a few human beings. I honestly think some people would crack there is a transform to who they used to be. To what they changed into. As people pointed out. Some might go on a killing rampage after a while. I'm honestly curious about that part of it. Would some people crack if sent to another planet. If so. How long would it take. What would they do once they did.

 

It still seems a little noble goal to go on a one way ticket to another planet knowing that you are never going to see your world again. You are excited at first. How long in space would it take to change your mind. If it did at all.

I agree - asking someone if they want to visit a colonize a new planet isn't the right question. The question is "do you want to live in a death trap prison the size of a few trailer park double wides with total strangers the rest of your life?"

If you can find people who say yes to that, then they are also probably too crazy to trust not to kill everyone.

The people you would suspect of killing someone. You could never tell. In movies the person (You know the horror movies.) the person is normal and even friendly. Its like they transform after being in space so long. They lose touch with reality. It can happen with some people. Living alone or even with strangers for the rest or your life on isolated alien planet.

 

At first everyone is fine. Then once the reality sets in. I have to disagree. You ask the question in the way you did. If you did. Just the word Death Trap would likely scare people off. I'm almost certain things would go wrong. Low food or perhaps a breach in the building contributes to to damage of the vessel. Things always seem to go wrong. Its not like you can say. Okay I'd like to go back to earth now. I had my fill. Whats more interesting is.

 

After the first people arrive. What if the people that were supposed arrive after them in a years time. Never did. What if supply's never came through. That's what would go through my mind. Whats the worst case that would happen.
