I spent the last year in Bangladesh and indeed it did have an effect on my interest in going to Mars. So thanks for also making the connection. Literally on the one hand I want to say "sign me up!" and yet on the other hand, after my experience living in isolation and without so many comforts in Bangladesh, I do worry I'd regret giving up on so much to move to Mars. Alienation, isolating, and the lack of comforts give you a lot of time to think, and it's easy to think you've made a mistake. I wouldn't want to be haunted by that feeling. On the other hand, to explore red martian rocks on the edge of human civilization... it has a romantic appeal. When romantic appeal and "the real thing" meet, sometimes it's not all happy.
