the whole one way trip to mars thing
just hearing they are fund raising by doing a olympic style, reality tv show, sports programme, chav's tv, lowest common denominator style, reality tv show
sounds shite
i just had in mind a more scientific way, a more romantic, a more dignified way of judging the people who would be the first to colonise a new planet, say iq / mental ability / knowledge of plant propagation and midwifery / medical qualifications ... not just who had the biggest gob and largest twerk
" The plan to recoup the huge outlay is to create a media event that is more like an Olympics spectacular than a TV reality show."
