Why dont they send a crowd of death row prisoners? And I'm sure they could ones smart enough to feed the monkeys who will be flying the spaceship.

More racism/ethnic cleansing from Laois

Yeah - and we'd get the blame when Mars gets partitioned!

I had a look through my telescope the other night and it really doesnt look that far away. Cant be more than a couple of thousand mile.

Are they sure they've got their measurements right?

Send all the telephone sanitisers. What can possibly go wrong?

Robbed from another forum. Send Liverpool fans as then they will have an extra 321 days for it to be their year.

Apologies to Pool fans. I thought it was quite witty!

That's certainly an improvement on how Rafa/Hodgson/Kenny/Rodgers was caught speeding and the police were willing to let them off but Rafa/Hodgson/Kenny/Rodgers said "please, I need the points!"

Drove past your office earlier SS, you would have had a brick through your window if I had seen that before...

Ara Jazes Laoislad. You should have called in. I'd have made you a nice coffee. We even have chocolate biscuits here!

Next time maybe?

Sorry Shamrock hadn't time to stop, there was a rich widow in Dún Laoghaire who needed my services.

A lot of the pioneers who moved to America knew they weren't going back. Granted it was a bit more hospitable than Mars, but it wasn't without its problems either. Plenty of pestilence to go around, colonies dying off because of disease. But at least there was still a magnetic field protecting them from the sun's radiation.

I'd be surprised if anyone lasted a year on Mars
