Quote:
Applicants wanted for a one-way ticket to Mars
By Melissa Hogenboom BBC News

Want to go to Mars? Dutch organisation Mars One says it will open applications imminently. It would be a one-way trip, and the company hopes to build a community of settlers on the planet.
--
Future explorers take note. Applicants must be resilient, adaptable, resourceful and must work well within a team. The whole project will be televised, from the reality TV style selection process, to landing and beyond.
--
Whether or not the mission will achieve its goal, the publicity generated from the "big-brother" style televised application process means the world will surely be watching.


Everybody wins! :-bd More at the link....

They'd never make it off the launch pad before the others decide to throw her butt out of there.

Well, she can accomplish three things for Mars:

1. Staff dentist
2. Staff lawyer
3. Staff clown.

I'd settle for sending her to the Gingrich Colony on the moon. Way quicker, I think.

I will not have my peaceful Martian estate disturbed by screeching. Can't we send her someplace like beyond the event horizon of a black hole where we can be guaranteed that no one will be bothered by her crazy narcissism ever again?

What was that thing from Sagan, about how we're all the made of the stuff of stars? Hmm... maybe along the way, a quick shove out the airlock and and into an orbit terminating in the Sun would help her realize her destiny. 8>
