Walking on mars

[OP No.5537325]

Would you volunteer to to be the first man to ever walk on mars if it means :

- You re leaving right now
- You will not make it back alive. The project relies on a one way trip. You are allowed to commit suicide there though.

First man?
Why not a woman?

[fred7v No.5537330]

I wouldn't

because why can't have an overweight spaceship due to all the fuckinh tmapons

[Anonymous No.5537342]

but men weigh more on average than women and have higher daily calorie needs...

[Anonymous No.5537343]

>>5537342
Average people, not average astronauts.

Right now? No.

>>/pol/ with your fucking sexism

[Schaiffe !zribfvVT8o No.5537349]

>>5537347
That is not sexism. It is a fact that men require more calories.

"UK Department of Health Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) are a daily calorie intake of 1940 calories per day for women and 2550 for men."

those will be some fucked up kids, man. Low gravity is probably not kind to development of the long bones.

The military already has some artificial gravity thing that we don't know about, so when we reach Mars we'll be just dandy.

Yeah its called centrifugal gravity and it isn't secret you faggot

100%

Dreams come true man. Its the closest I could get to my planet hoppin fantasies of Star Wars obsessed youth.

[Anonymous No.5537772]

A long, uncomfortable ride, where I'll be exposed to radiation, bone loss, insanity, loneliness, cold, and disappointment. There are places on Earth I haven't been, where the trip offers the same drawbacks.
Shit dude! I'M DON'T EVEN GOING TO LEAVE MY BASEMENT.

[Anonymous No.5537827]

>>5537325

so basically, you're killing yourself.

Yeah, no. I have responsibilities. I'm not just some loser who is going to die of heart disease at 35 like everyone who is volunteering to die.

[Anonymous No.5537829]

>>5537369

it's completely impractical, child.

Just because you saw it in a sci-fi doesn't make it real.

[Anonymous No.5537842]

>>5537325
This is idiocy. Even if I had a month for preparations and could return alive still I wouldn't go. What's the point? It's a rusty sand desert with low gravity, that's it. Time wasting with health problems only. It's useless and uninteresting. Srsly,. I can't imagine how space nerdy you must be to fly there one way only.

are you retarded.
He didn't say centrifuges are science fiction.
He said using them to create gravity is impractical

[Anonymous No.5537880]

>>5537860

>being this delusional about space

Oh. so we have centrifuges that generate artificial gravity for occupants in a current space station?

Or are you just completely lost to your fantasies?

[Anonymous No.5537884]

>>5537842

most people who are volunteering are complete failures in life and being a person who died on mars is about the best thing they could ever hope for.

At least then SOMEONE would remember them.

[Anonymous No.5537892]

>>5537884
I'd do it even if I wouldn't be remembered. Life on Earth is boring as fuck.

Why? Making a thing spin is not too hard

It is easy as fuck you moron

[Anonymous No.5537899]

>>5537892

life on mars would be even more boring as fuck. how many times can you play in the sand before it gets old? How long could you stave off the feeling that you made a mistake in coming to mars?

[Anonymous No.5537903]

>>5537896

Oh now we're rotating the entire spacecraft?

that's going to make course touchups SO much easier!

[Anonymous No.5537912]

>>5537903
easier than providing a constant acceleration or using an unknown gravity device, yes.

[Anonymous No.5537914]

>>5537899
I'm sure the people who went to the moon would agree with you. Must have been boring as fuck.

I'm already making a mistake by staying alive for no purpose.

[Anonymous No.5537943]

>>5537914

Apollo 11 only spent 21 hours on the moon. They barely had enough time to do their schedule. We're talking about spending your entire life on mars.

>>5537912
Constant acceleration would be far easier from an engineering standpoint, all you have to do is throttle up slowly and have the deck layout be like a tall building. Or just no gravity at all. Who said spaceflight didn't have consequences? star trek?

as long as i could get netflix on mars then i'm down

I am not getting laid on earth anyways, so why not.

[Anonymous No.5538148]

Send me with me engineering equipment and supplies to build green houses and solar panels and yes.

[Anonymous No.5538187]

it doesnt matter if you were given a shit ton of food. You more than likely would die in a week due to all the radiation you are exposed too.
