Exactly. Plus, why do you need to be on earth to enjoy being a legend? Screw it man, you'd have your praises sung for generations!

They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...

I'm not too fussed about being a "legend" , Fame is pretty trivial to me ,I mean I like reading about celebrities and etc but actual fame for myself? meh.

I'd rather stay on earth where I am happiest than travel to a distant planet with no option to turn back if I hated it.
I'll just diagnose myself as Goddess of the Universe and have done with it. Hell with autism!  :green: :zoinks:

nice is just something written on biscuits.

I don't think most of you guys understand how awesome this is. You would become a legend, AND you'd get to go on the adventure of a lifetime. Hell more than a lifetime. Theres only one chance to go on this mission, and its the first of its kind.  :o

I don't think you fully realise that life can be awesome.

Your idea of becoming a legend is to agree to a one-way ticket because they aren't clever enough to get you back but you still hope they would speak well of you instead of hiding their tracks when it all went horribly wrong?

Well, that's another way to aim for an afterlife. Becoming a legend.

Only, there is no afterlife. This is it. Being a dead legend is just as pointless as being a dead nobody.

Yet so many keep aiming for an afterlife. No matter what their beliefs or ideas.

And in doing so, they miss out on life.

Yup, funny how some types of very religious mystics don't give a damn about the afterlife.

They wouldn't want to go, they want to enjoy every minute they have on earth.

I wasn't planning on asking them.

Oh well, then they just would just enjoy their days on Mars I guess.

With any luck, the mission would fail.

But you would never be able to come back to Earth to enjoy you legendary status. What's the point of being a legend if you're not around to enjoy it?

Exactly. You'd be up there  completely and permanently separated from the rest of the world.  :-\

And what happens as these eldery astraunauts die. I'd hate to be the last one left alive, once the other three have died. Being the only person on a planet would be the lonliest way to live out your final years.
not if you had the internet and forums to go to :headbang2:

Internet would make things a lot easier I have to admit, but I'm not sure they would be able to give you internet on Mars
