      Personally I wouldn’t really like to go to Mars, it would be a very hostile environment and you would have to do absolutely everything from scratch. Not to mention setting up an oxygen and water supply for a start! I’m really fascinated by the Mars One mission though (http://www.mars-one.com/), I really admire people who want to go and build a community there, but I don’t fancy it myself!

      Maybe if the human race went there and created a colony so that it was just ready for me to move in. Otherwise no, I don’t think I’d want to go!

      I’ll join the other scientists to this. I’d love to visit, if there was a way back. But, not really to just go there.

      Nah, I gave up eating chocolate bars ages ago.
      Nice thing about this on-line question and answer session, I can’t hear the groans :^)
      Well, in principle, yes – it would be a fantastic adventure.
      But … I’d have to kiss goodbye to my wife and kids, knowing that I’d never see them again.
      No way!
