talkpoliticsSo, 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?

The first task of any responsible mission should be protection against such threats.
People to send: the cast of The View. (Babs can watch from home.)
