Knowing Your Death Day

Now here’s an interesting proposition: would you be willing to take a one-way trip to Mars? I agree with Jim Downey, the one true thing is that we will all die, so, if you could advance the sum of human knowledge by volunteering for a one-way trip to Mars – would you do it?

 

I’m not sure that I would have the courage to do this, but one thing is for sure, I would not stand in the way of anyone who, in the cold light of day, wanted to do this. I might even, on behalf of our fellow primates, salute them.
