So, I was listening to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me this weekend, and they had an interesting tidbit:

Apparently, there is some buzz about NASA considering a manned Mars mission -- as a one-way trip. Up to four astronauts would be sent to Mars as the first step in establishing permanent human settlements on the planet -- and they'd never return.

I immediately thought of which 4 people on planet Earth, I'd most like to see spend the rest of their lives on Mars....My top 4 picks:

1) Regis Philbin
2) Kelly Ripa
3) Mel Gibson
4) 3 way tie: Charlie Sheen/LadyGaga/Ke$ha

So for pure fun -- who are your top picks to go to Mars....and never come back?

3 women and Glenn Beck. You're not giving Mars a chance to survive!

Will the sewing of the Lindsay-Hilton Beast (think 666) be allowed to unsew itself once it lands?

I'd only change #3 to include Sharron Angle but otherwise I'd go with this.

Great Monday post!!!

(1st pick non-negotiable) Nadya Suleman - Octomom (we got to populate the planet!)
(2nd pick) Leonardo Dicaprio/Macaulay Culkin (I'm actually pretty certain this is the same person. That's just how good of an actor they/him/it is! but I pick them because of their alien like qualities. I feel they will survive and the strangeness of the Nadya-Macaulay Dicaprio children will survive the harsness of Mars)
(3rd pick)Maira Carey Jennifer Lopez (again fairly sure this is the same person and their standards for matting requirements are low. I think their survivability on a harsh planet is good.)
(4th)Brian Austin Green - FUCK THIS LUCKY BASTARD SEND HIM TO MARS!!!

Any man who has slept with Tori Spelling, Tiffani Amber, Vanessa Marcil, Megan Fox deserves to be sent off-planet and give some other men a chance!

I volunteer for this mission. (And just before launch I would sneak into the capsule and lock the door so no one else could go. You will see me screaming through the window-panes, flicking everyone off as the rocket slowly rises, shaking, screaming "GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!!"

I'm not gay but... nice choices. I would say that is close to the idea dude list right there. Clooney is a bit old but ya know he's a total pervert and would be down for a MFM threesome without batting an eye.

That sounds like the old Soviet approach to space. :P

They can call it "colonization" but the reality is it will merely be some not-so-long term experiments on how humans react to the Martian environment. I'm not sure why the author is determined that "radiation" will DOOOOOOOOOM anyone going to Mars.

The first task of any responsible mission should be protection against such threats.
