How is it suicide though when it's no different from living out your life on this planet?
What's the difference truly?

Why Mars first and not start on the Moon? Makes you wonder why they would choose the hard road first rather than colonize the moon and learn from it so you can then go to Mars.

That doesn't even... Why would they repeatedly send people out there? It wouldn't become a community, it would become a prison... That is horrible...
Why have ppl pay when you can simply ask?
Heres the deal:
80years without perole(spelling?) OR
one way to mars.
If they chose Mars, some study is to be taken.
(EXO)Biology, Chemestry, physics, Geology.
Most of them are fit enough when the question
is asked so, no need there...
If i were asked that, in THAT situation...I´d chose
Mars.

What people are not being told is that there is a civilization now living under the surface of mars.
We go there, and from what I hear they are fragile because they had to go underground so long ago because of a solar flare. Our bacteria could cause them to panic and possibly kill them because we would contaminate them. That might be one reason Malin (msss.ocm) leaks the photos ever so slowly. I think they know what's up. Pardon the pun
Here is a leaked photo of an actual biological sprayer, spraying the side of a crater, possible plants of some sort.

Photo is from an approved Nasa agency.

I don't see how living on Mars would be possible.
In order to survive people need food, water, oxygen and shelter of which none of this exists on Mars. It's atmosphere is 95.32% carbon dioxide, 0.13% oxygen and other things. Average temperature is about -67 F, but can get as low as -225 F or as high as 81 F, but without an atmosphere, the temperature changes a lot between day and night and seasons.
There is a reason why there is nothing living on Mars.

They should also include any death row inmates that want to go, any prisoner really. Give them their freedom and let them go to Mars.
Here's why.
[...]
Everything that's built, they're going to have to build themselves, there are no construction companies up there. The colonists will be responsible for building everything that exists and doing all of the work that needs to be done. Let them do it.
[...]
That way we can't have the issues that have come up here on earth with colonies of convicts creating settlements and their offspring being the people who end up being the residents [...] After enough time has gone by that they've all died off, then choose the people who will actually form the "society" of Mars. That way, everything's been built and they can have a good start. Send more materials, let them update structures and form an actual society, reproduce and fill the ... Mars.
