Ya I'd definitely go. I have military experience, flight experience, and I am educated, but definitely not in the top percentages that astronauts are in. Even if there was a 90% chance of death the first few years, I'd 100% go. I'd get on a rocket to Mars now, knowing there's not support structure at the destination, and I'm sure I'd cry and be freaked out, but I would definitely get on that rocket. I hope one day I can.
- koheripbal 8y agoI wonder if someone wanting to go despite a 90% death rate should be disqualified on psychological grounds? Sort of like the old joke that "I'd never want to join a club that would have me as a member".
- fernandopj 8y agoThere are missions well above 90% death rate which are very valid. Kamikaze attacks on wars. Chernobyl water release. And so on. You wouldn't apply the same psychological tests on those volunteers as you would on a ISS mission. You'd just thank them as they go.
