Wife on Mars

They could start launching big brother contestants into orbit strapped onto conventional rockets? I'd watch that.

Mars One with never get off the ground in my opinion. If they do I bet it will be certain suicide for the members.

If by some miracle they can get a ship together, I can't see any responsible country allowing them to launch from their territory to certain death.

I doubt in ten years they will get anyone into orbit let alone another planet.

Er... what? Its as of you are completely unaware of all space travel up to this point.
 
Clearly they are more interested in the kudos of being the one of the first people on Mars and the person married to them than they are actually being with each other. Which is a pretty sad indictment on their relationship I suppose.

It's not something I have to worry about so its academic for me.
 
Well on 1st thought I was thinking dump her, the selfish bitch.

BUT if you slow down and think it through, if can be turned into a hugely positive outcome. I'd imagine this woman will be paid a fortune and as a loving spouse it'd go to you.
You stay all dutifull and stuff while she's here on earth, act all sad and all that nonsense....and kaching! Off she goes. She gets her suicide mission, you get your freedom, and **** load of moneh to waste on a nice house, good car, beer, drugs and hookers.

Win win.
 
Plenty of couples wallow along in misery to an end undetermined in their 70s never experiencing life and sitting in front of the TV with little to no communication. This couple if successful will know when their end is - they may well make more of those years than most couples tbh. Also a big part in any relationship is acceptance and this chap obviously accepts his wife and loves here and is proud for who she is. That is better than blokes who demean their wives and just slap them silly when they've got in from the pub.
 
The most hideous bit will be meeting all the other people who will be going to Mars and knowing that your wife will end up banging at least one of them.
Personnally I'd divorce my wife if she planned to do this, but I'm not amazingly masochistic.

Nonono do not do this.

Yes you'll know fine well she'll be throwing it around the minute they blast off. but so will you, and if you pretend to be all sad, faithfull n **** you'll get all the cash, so you'll get a much better quality of life and consequently, better quality of pasty.

Also if you wait until after launch you'll probably be able to score a load of NASA goodies. Emblazoned hoodies, plush space shuttles, stickers. It's the mother load!
 
What exactly is the point of this? I read that they want a colony of around 20-40 people to live there and develop a self sustaining city by 2026.....Some initial thoughts....

- They will all have to be vegetarian since there won't be any animals
- There will only be very limited medical equipment to treat people or operate
- No contraception, so what happens when babies are inevitably born?
- Vitamin D from sun light how will they get this without being able to go outside?

So it seems like its a case of sending 20+ crazy people to Mars to live in small huts, never breath fresh air, and eat leaves and die an early death.....chances of this going ahead 100/1.

This. There are a couple outcomes, really.

They die on the way there (likey).
They make it to Mars and die shortly after.
At some point they all go batcrap insane and kill each other.
Eaten by sandworms.

I just cannot see this ending well.
 
I've identified an issue. I think we can make certain assumptions about the lifestyles of the individuals who are applying for this. So let's assume they make it and everything goes well, the colony flourishes etc. Eventually we're going to have to make contact with these people again and they're all going to be speaking bloody Klingon!
