Mars


An alert reader sent me an article about the opportunity for the definitive adventure of a lifetime: a one-way trip to Mars.  One way.  Mars.  Only 78,000 applicants would be accepted.  

A quick survey of curmudgeons produced pretty much what you would expect - "where are they going to find THAT many nutcases?" Funny story - they sold out within days.

Personally, I suspect that there are WAY more than a mere 78,000 qualifying nutcases that can be tapped for such a mission. Give me a little while and I'm sure I could easily think of a few candidates I would like to suggest, as, no doubt, could each of you.

Nonetheless, this will be WORTHY reality TV - not that lame stuff they've got on the tube now.
