Why do you hate the idea of going to Mars so much?

I would love to go there, even if it meant I died the second I step foot on it. Getting back would be the last thing on my mind.
- Tostino 4y agoThere are plenty of other places you could go travel to where you get to see some amazing wonders right before your guaranteed death. Right here on earth too. Why no go for some of those? You can likely do it for cheaper too.
- JKCalhoun 4y agoMy last thoughts as I gasped for air in the gripping cold of the Martian plain was, "Wait, this is it?"
- starbase 4y agoThere are plenty of people who would give their lives to advance civilization for the sake of future generations. The brief pleasure of seeing some amazing wonders is, in comparison, irrelevant. Death is guaranteed either way.
- robswc 4y agoNot OP but IMO, nothing on earth would compare to another planet. I'm not into space exploration but sometimes I look up at the moon and it blows my mind that we actually went there. Almost feels impossible even. Mars is that x100. I personally wouldn't want to die on Mars but I understand the appeal.
- Kiro 4y agoWhy would I do that? It's not like I want to die and nothing on earth is worth dying for but going to another planet is.
- maxlamb 4y agoThat literally describes suicide, after 9 months of being trapped in a small spacecraft (“even if it meant I died the second I step foot on it”).
- gnulinux 4y ago> Why do you hate the idea of going to Mars so much? Because there is so much to do on earth? Literally everyone is here. What other answer does anyone else need? All this Mars fandom sounds to me like clinically depressed sci-fi.
- Kiro 4y agoI don't mind solitude but even then, going on a an expedition together that you know you won't come back from must be an amazing bonding experience. Can't imagine a more fulfilling destiny than go to another planet.

- rsynnott 4y ago> I would love to go there, even if it meant I died the second I step foot on it. Getting back would be the last thing on my mind Seems like a particularly over-the-top suicide method.
