I've heard the infrastructure is not yet too developed up there so I guess it could be a bit of a wild-west kind of trip. On the other hand you won't be bothered by too many neighbors. It's the ideal place to enjoy nature and landscapes on end ...

Given that space probes send back images in black and white, and at a relatively low resolution, I don't think you get more than a Wii to play around with..

Sure, just fill this new connection form.*
*Terms and Conditions apply. Roaming charge for interplanetary data transfer is $20/MB. Better use mobileread.mobi On a serious note, will it be possible to use interent on mars? What load can it cause on infrastructure? |

If you find yourself looking at a video of yourself while you have a wet towel around your head, you may need to take precautions before going to Mars. A tip. Don't trust all the mutants.

Surprisingly, they've received more than 1000 applicants...
I didn't know there were that many people that hated this planet! |

I'd love to go but I'd want a return ticket.

At 62 years of age, I'd go in a heartbeat if I weren't married, but I can't get my wife to leave Virginia, much less move to another planet.
Mars may not be much on atmosphere and scenery, but it has 25 hour days and has the gravity thing figured out far better than Earth does. |
