Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp has sky-high plans for a solar system-sized reality show: a worldwide media event for "several billion online spectators” that would hand four ordinary people a one-way ticket to Mars -- all filmed for a TV event set to launch in 2023.

Perhaps those "4 ordinary people" could be: Mr. Obama, Mr. Biden, Mr. Reid and Mrs. Pelosi?

If so, I'll buy the snacks for their lengthy, one-way trip!

or maybe they could be Mr Rubio, Mr. Boehner, Mr.Cantor and Ms Bachman. I won't have to worry about snacks, they'll be eating themselves after the first fifteen minutes.

That will work too, but no matter which ones we send they'll be 100 more
taking their place. We need to kick 'em all out and start over with just the
Constitution and common sense as our guides.

Maybe... we could send all 8 of 'em, and at least we'd have
some "political peace" for awhile.

I wonder if there's any gold on Mars? Any AstroGeologists in the house?

I see no reason to send Ms. Bachman home for free.

Actually the best would be to mix the two groups and then send. Put a Camara in the craft and you have the makings of the next great reality tv show. Bets taken on whether they all kill each other, bipartisan orgy, etc, etc. Could solve the national debt crisis with advertising etc etc.

I think it would be fitting for Mrs. Pelosi, after all she is always in want of Govt. supplied transportion to be at her beck and call.

Maybe if we chip in we can add a 5 traveler, Diane Feinstein needs to make that trip really bad.....

That's a generous gesture on your part , but we can fill our own spaceship with no room to spare . Donate to funding your own craft . :laughing7:

Yeah, your right. Canada had nothing to do with or contribute to the space program in any way. Just like the world wars, the US did everything and won everything, all by itself.:notworthy:

Well since we are sending Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Reid I thought maybe I would pay Clinton's fare as I think he could add some "Thrust" to the orgy...:laughing7:
