Sure it is, but it is a likely assumption to make. If we have rocket engines that can get us to mars in 6 months now (they technically aren't...
...didn't I just say can is not the same as will. I like how your opening sentence directly contradicts what I said. Oh I see, you interpreted...
That's nonsense. The information we have to go on for how the applicants will be trained, the facilities they plan to build, and the specifics of...
You're making assumptions about all people's state of mind in an unknown situation based on similar examples of mental health in isolated...
You're also making a lot of assumptions here. Again, while the state of mind of the crew would be a concern (as it would be with any prolonged,...
I think Security was just being facetious. The point being it's called what it's called because of the engine the game is based on. From what I've...
Sanity of the crew is a concern but it isn't the foregone conclusion you're making it out to be Fenix. Part of the proposed training is to live in...
I already answered that in the OP. It's called devils advocate for a reason. I'm asking a question contrary to my own beliefs for the sake of...
I don't know how to respond to that. Anyway, just to play Devils advocate to the people who wouldn't go, let me ask you this. Do you think...

Well, since it's supposed to be a "for life" trip, and they'd have complete autonomy over themselves, there's nothing stopping them from having...
When you say something offensive that insults me I have every right to reciprocate in kind. If someone shits on my parade what am I supposed to...
Are you for real? You can say whatever the hell you want to say. I'm not saying you can't say "old news". I'm saying that saying just that in a...
In the 10 years before the trip they'd train all the applicants in skills they would need to survive. Farming, engineering, medical skills,...
And the fact that you come off like an asshole while saying just that doesn't bother you in anyway?
I wasn't looking for your approval of whether or not I can make a thread. I'm trying to explain to you that it's a discussion thread. Saying just...
Interior crocodile alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie theatre. Interior crocodile alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie theatre. Interior...
I don't want to repeat myself in the thread. Again. I don't care if it's old news (and 1 year ago isn't "years", the oldest information I was able...
....I feel like your not getting the concept of a discussion here. I don't care if at some point in time it was known before. I'm sure a lot of...
Seeing as this is appearing in science news circles just a few days ago I'm going to go with whatever Discovery was talking about then wasn't what...
