Quote :

"A new nonprofit led by the world's first space tourist is mounting an ambitious plan to launch the first manned mission to Mars in 2018, a voyage that could include an adventurous married crew. The project, led by American millionaire Dennis Tito — who paid his own way to space in 2001 — aims not to land people on the surface of the Red Planet, but to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment that would allow a relatively easy, quick flyby of Mars. Tito announced the private Mars voyage plan today (Feb. 27) here at the National Press Club, where he held a press conference to launch his new organization, the Inspiration Mars Foundation, to back the mission. Tito hopes to choose a space capsule and rocket from among those already on the market, and modify them to carry two people to Mars and back in 501 days. And to combat the loneliness and isolation that would doubtless set in during such a mission, Tito is proposing something that's never been tried before: sending one male and one female, preferably a married couple. "When you're out that far and the Earth is a tiny, blue pinpoint, you're going to need someone you can hug," Tito told SPACE.com. "What better solution to the psychological problems you're going to encounter with that isolation?""

Terrible idea. Any couple together alone that long would kill each other

2/28/2013 10:32:50 AM

agreed, the ideal couple for this is an independent alpha female and a friend-zoned obsequious beta male.

I disagree. A lot of the external forces and social pressures that would occur in normal everyday life that would cause a rift in the relationship wouldn't exist during this mission. They would also share an equal passion for science and discovery.

^^lol

I'd do it. we can watch Voyager!

You know, if it meant going to Mars, I would deal with watching Voyager.

2/28/2013 10:43:08 AM

Voyager is just silly. Plus why would you watch a series about people getting lost millions of lightyears away and fucking up every chance they get to go home.

2/28/2013 10:51:34 AM

Only if I can become part of the 35.8 million mile high club

2/28/2013 10:53:59 AM

Make space babies

And under what jurisdiction could the killer be prosecuted?

2/28/2013 11:51:07 AM

CSI: Miami did it.. Killed a guy in space and Horatio got his ass

I'd do it if I could go with Minka. We'd watch the entire Doctor Who series from the original 60s episodes until the present.

2/28/2013 12:04:22 PM

If I could only figure out a way to embed the marry me song.

Back off Wraith you're not invited

2/28/2013 3:31:01 PM

Wraith has an English accent.

2/28/2013 3:43:42 PM

2/28/2013 3:47:27 PM

Welp, I'm out of the running then.

2/28/2013 3:47:27 PM

Is sex allowed? I mean even if you just sent one dude do you really think he is gonna go 501 days without fapping... a whole bunch of times?

2/28/2013 3:48:22 PM

fapping in zero g would be the new way to make it rain

2/28/2013 5:37:45 PM

So does sperm even swim in space, would the radiation make your baby superman, what happens to menstration in space, can a woman give a good blowjob in the vacuum of space?

Apparently yes

2/28/2013 5:46:01 PM

^^ BBehe that is the winner, she will go on a cruise with you. But you won't get to bwn

[Edited on February 28, 2013 at 5:48 PM. Reason : I snap my gf's neck if I had to go to space with her.]

2/28/2013 5:47:37 PM

Psh, I'd be willing to be a friend-zoned obsequious beta male in a sham marriage if that meant I could go to Mars.

2/28/2013 5:49:26 PM

not to mars...just a fly by. Thats like dry humping

2/28/2013 5:50:45 PM

A fly by of mars is the friend zoning of space travel.

2/28/2013 5:52:45 PM

i'd think that 502 days of isolation could pave the way to the pussy for even the most hopeless friend zoned male out there.

2/28/2013 5:58:11 PM

sry bbehe but I can imitate David Tennant's voice quite well so the choice should be pretty clear.

3/1/2013 8:49:06 AM

Can you imagine how badly a woman's voice would grate your nerves after 500 days in a capsule? At some point most guys would just open the hatch and let the universe have us.

3/1/2013 10:23:23 AM

^^ Understandable, I really had no chance.
