Lets say you have a chance to be among the first settlers on Mars, would you go or pass up the chance?

Question

Also what occupation would you pick for your new life on Mars?

I would be a crazy old prospector that just happens to run a Moonshining operation on the side.

Answer 1

I posted a similar question like this a couple of minutes ago.  Being a settler is thinking ahead way too much...first we need to see if we can get a crew of astronaut to visit Mars and come back from Mars safely.

But, if i were to be a settler on Mars, i would create a drilling company, looking for any precious metal or gems, but I'm sure many many other people would too, since its a nice new planet to live on, so it would be a very competitive business, i can imagine.

Answer 2

Live in a space suit? No way.

You could get the same experience by living in the middle of the desert for a while with a fish bowl over your head. Except you can take the fish bowl off when you get fed up with this.

Answer 3

Sure why not, new business, new economy, whole new life, would being one of the first people there be easy, heck no but there would be a certain pride that would go with the fact that your helping to build a whole new world. The occupation i would choose for myself would be a bartender in my own Martian sports bar & grill, i would most likely get allot of miners and working class folks in my place but hey even Martian settlers got to unwind some how right.

Answer 4

I would definitely go. For a job if they tried terraforming mars at all i would definitely be on that team. If they didn't try to then I would probably be a farmer.

Answer 5

In a heartbeat as i am in Facility Management i guess same job there as here you always need someone to organize venues and maintenance and services
