Billionaire and space tourist Dennis Tito has invited applications for a middle aged married couple to fly to Mars! Setting off in 2018 the couple will be confined together for 500 days in a SpaceX Dragon whilst they fly close to Mars and return to Earth. Will their marriage last the voyage? Would yours?
Hot on their heels will be America's NASA and the Netherlands' Mars One, both hoping to land crew on the fourth rock from the Sun by 2023. Wotan's going to have company at Mars Base. Best get some more beers in Wote!
Would any of you sign up for a trip to Mars?
This past year has been really exciting on the space front with so many developements in both government projects and private sector advancements.
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean "would any of you" Ive signed an agreement with Tito to have thee and me on the next flight out to Martian orbit - the Swordcast for 2018 will be live from Mars!
