Would You Go?

Posted by Chris Radcliff in News on February 5, 2009

Martian landingOver at The Martian Chronicles, Ryan Anderson asks a compelling question after reading an article by James McLane about the feasibility of a one-way Mars mission:

So, given that opportunity to achieve the impossible, a sure place in history, and the possibility of solving some of the most outstanding questions in science, would you go if you couldn’t come back? Would you be willing to forgo the comforts of life on the Earth for the chance to leave your mark on history forever?

Be sure to read both articles before responding, then head over to Ryan’s post and answer in the comments there. I’ll close comments here just to remind you to post over there. So… Would you go?
