• Question: If You were offered a job to go to MARS and live there for five years (minimum) with three other scientists and explore and name places but whilst being there you would have to live in your shuttle and eat canned beans. Is that for you???

      As much as I would like to be gung ho! and say yeah sign me up…in reality I likely would pass on the opportunity.

      Space travel is really exciting, but something I like to get excited about from the comfort of a chair at home. I don’t really like heights so being strapped to a giant bomb and letting it go off to send me upwards isn’t overly appealing. I also like an active social life and honestly, I think I would go mad with only three people to interact with for five years.

      How about you?

      Cheers
      Ash
