There will an awful lot of land to be developed, bought, sold etc. how about we round up all the developers, estate agents, financial advisors and solicitors and send them all to Mars to err, get things ready for us.

The track machine and cement mixers will have to go up first.

If the sky plus would work i would go, i couldn't live without Fair City.

Yeah Sky+ should work: just get a powerful satellite dish, and tell sky to beam it your way. Without a satellite in orbit around Mars you'll lose connection every time Mars turns away from Earth of course.

So then you'll be grand.

Except for the lack of Oxygen, water, food, and even gravity... and don't forget the constant UV bombardment.

I would love to do it, my god it would be like if we could restart the earth today knowing everything we know now, with the exception of the harsh living environment but sure thats where evolution kicks in.

It will be far more traumatic for the future generation of Martians who have to visit mother earth for the first time

A trip to Mars lasting months would be my idea of hell becoming a reality.the idea of extreme isolation and inescapable claustrophobia are more worst fears.

Well, if they could send up something that goes at several times faster than the speed of light, said Astronaut could leave today and arrive there a few months ago

You know Fred ............ sometimes I think you are dieu trompeur incarnate.

Then other time I think you are just being Fred

Incidentally, is Jim Gregory still at Portsmouth?

Send people to the Sahara, without oxygen, with no way back - and film it all as a reality show

In the extremely unlikely event they actually made it, you are going to watch people go mad and die

And the telephone sanitizers, hairdressers, jingle writers, accountants, etc.

Send them off in a great big ark.

There's a video game called Mass Effect where in the game, Humans discovered advanced technology from an ancient extinct alien race that dominated the galaxy 50,000 years before, on Mars. They studied and used the technology and it advanced humanity's technology and science by hundreds of years to the point where they developed Faster then Light travel and were able to build powerful spaceships capable of travelling as far as Pluto in hours and then they discovered the mass relays which connected them to other advanced civilizations in the Galaxy.

I'm, just thinking of Mass Effect reading that article.

Jim Gregory? Blimey, that's a name from the past. He died years ago. Good chairman for a while though.

I'll admit, the idea wasn't 100% my own!

Would Mars be suitable as a prison colony like Australia used to be in the good old days. (Obviously it would be no use for a sentence of less than a year due to travelling time!)
