Would You Like A One-Way Ticket To Mars?

The question is, “Would you like a one-way ticket to Mars?”

I understand that scientists plan to send humans to Mars. 

The fact that it’s a one-way ticket excites but also scares me. To be one of the first human settlers on Mars would be a truly amazing experience that you’d never forget.

But remember, you can’t come back!

In my younger year’s I would’ve jumped at the chance to go into space and be one of the first settlers on Mars.

However, the reality is that once the astronauts (settlers) arrive on Mars, they’ll have to live, work and survive together under whatever circumstances they find themselves in, forever and ever (so, you’ve got no chance of changing your job title).

Will it be easy for them to adapt to a totally different planet?

No one knows…

They’d also have to be psychologically ready for any challenges that they may find; in particular, if another species already habitat Mars!

But, if another species habitat Mars, will they accept the human invaders or will it be a hostile first encounter?

Let’s hope whatever the outcome, it’s a positive one.

But hey, I’m no astronaut.

What do you think?
