There's a manned trip planned in 2023. Over 100,000 people have applied for to go. It's a one way trip. I wouldn't want to go but can think of a few people to nominate

So....? What do they do, shoot themselves when they run out of food, oxygen, etc.? So, along with all the space garbage man leaves out there, now there's going to be bodies floating/lying around? Sheesh!

....I've got a list of nominees too!
