Would you be willing to go to Mars knowing you will never be able to return to the Earth? It seems like there are lots of people willing to do it…

"I've had a deep desire to explore the universe ever since I was a child and understood what a rocket was," Peter Greaves told FoxNews.com. Greaves is the father of three, and a jack-of-all-trades who started his own motorcycle dispatch company and fixes computers and engines on the side.
"I envision life on Mars to be stunning, frightening, lonely, quite cramped and busy," he told FoxNews.com.

Mars Mission One-way For Volunteer People
If I was younger and had better engineering skills I would jump on this myself. I would love to take a trip to another planet and learn to live off that planet and make a human settlement that can soon pave the way to more and more human settlers on another planet.
