lets seeee how Load 1 works out,,,, First.

Or, you can look at just the win/loss record of the previous attempts to land robots on Mars. The US has had a bit of success, but even then the record is pretty abysmal.

See, here's the problem I have with the Indian space program: if the craft has a problem, you have to call India!

Scam / never gonna happen by that date. At least that's how I'm calling it.

Anybody interested in a bet on this?

My money is on the reality TV show option.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

To me this is the only thing that "works" in this, but it would still be a scam. Run the lottery, get a buzz going, have the reality show and lock so people up in a simulated environment ala "Survivor" to determine which is most suited. However, to think whatever profits from that can finance an actual trip to Mars is pure bunk, so afterwards just say you didn't raise enough money and retire to Tahiti. I hear it's a magical place.

"Have you checked to see if your life-support system is plugged in?"
...
"Have you tried turning your life-support system off, then on again?"
...
"OK, we need you to uninstall your life-support system, then re-install it. Kindly do the needful."

Exactly how it would go. In a condescending tone, of course.

Always be kinder than you feel.

I just spit and sputtered, and I'm not even on life support!

Twardo can help you pick one out when the time comes.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama
