One-way ticket to mars!
Tuesday, 15. July 2008, 19:23:31
I recently read an article in the swedish magazine "All About science"(allt om vetenskap) about a projectidea made by a man called James Mclane, who worked as an engineer for NASA. He´s been working on an idea about a journey mars.A one-way ticket journey to be more exact.
Which signify that the astronaut would travel through space with no crew members but not yet alone. Mclane advocate that the people on planet earth would follow this passenger through his journey to reach mars, he would never feel alone rather the diverse. The journey would be broadcast on different tvshows. Every step of the passengers journey would be published and so on.
The arrival to mars would be planned in detail and Mclane mean that a camp would be ready to be used when the astrounat arrives. He would ,if everything goes as Mclanes vision, soon be visited by other people willing to leave earth for a one way ticket and a new life on planet mars. Hopefully they would start a new colonny on the planet, more and more people would join the project with the knowledge that they may never see planet earth again.Hopefully in the future we would be able to arrange two-way tickets to mars.
If this vision ever gets approved I don´t know.. but it sure sound a bit scary to me.. leaving earth with the knowledge that you may never see planet earth ever again. Alone on a planet totally uninhabited by other life.. what would you do?
kick dust or sand all day until the day you die?
I`m sure there´s people who´s going to assign voluntary to this project, but I´m not sure if it´s right?
why should we force ourselves on a new planet when we aren´t capable of taking care of the one we´re allready located on?

Mass effect, awsome game! I played it on 360 a couple of monhts ago and really liked it, never been a fan of the sicene fiction themes before but this game got it all:)
Lifes going good in sweden! still works in the game shop:D been checking for some educations, but haven´t really found anything that caught my attention.
I´ve meet a new guy adrian, we´ve been togheter for nearly three months now, and it does feel awsome, I´ll let the future tell what will come next!
take care all! hope you all have some wonderful summervacations and activites!
love Ell!

the earth's mass is twice the mars's(if i remember well). You need huge energy to leave earth, leaving mars is a little bit harder than leaving moon.
Then you need energy to become a sun's satellite ,meaning i think 16 km/sec. Means 16*3600 km/hour. Then you need food, a.s.o.
I am a sf fan, and this idea is something rather common when thinking ab. reaching remote places, but is v. much poetry.
and so on. hear from you!

I read in your blog about the magazine "All About science"(allt om vetenskap) which discussed my proposal for a one way trip to Mars.
I live in the USA and would like obtain a copy of this magazine for my archives, but I do not know how. Can anyone help me contact the magazine with a request? Unfortunately, I do not speak the Swedish language.
