NASA Plans to Send Men to Mars, Leave Them There

NASA is hatching an audacious plan to send astronauts into space to colonize Mars and other planets—and never return.

Yeah, it's a great idea. Terraformers, right out of Aliens, and other great SciFi's.

I have no family here and always looking for a new adventure. I'd go.
