Seems that NASA has come up with a plan to colonize other planets by sending astronauts/colonists on one-way missions.

Not so sure I'd want to do this.

Pay for it or be a colonial?

[desertdude]

With a budget of 1.1 million its really not going anywhere anytime soon

Oh, no. I'd be perfectly willing to pay for it especially if I get to recommend who gets sent on the trip.

I've got one person in mind to start...

Under the right conditions I'd maybe go for it. Thing is that no planet is close enough to have the generation that starts the journey finish it. So unless they come up with FTL, I ain't going.

The way the US is going, pretty soon NASA's budget will consist of $1.49 to buy a pack of looseleaf to research the flight dynamics of paper air planes.

I've just figured out what to do with all those murderers, rapists and the like that we can't/won't get on the electric chair.

Meh, it only takes about 214 days to get to Mars, so what's stopping you?

One got to look down Erin Gray's top, the other looked up her dress. Not seeing a downside either way here.

...True Story....But I've decided your trip might more resemble...... ....

Terraform Venus instead. Closer and easier, though might take a few hundrfed years.
