If Elon Musk selected you for a Mars mission -- future Starships may accommodate up to 100 people -- would you go to Mars?

I would not go because I have a wife and twin 8-year-olds, but I sent my main character Nikki, a single 25-year-old at the time of launch, in my place.

Hmmm, this is tough. Maybe once they have a high ratio of successful trips with fewer casualties, I’d be more tempted to. Otherwise, I feel pretty content with staying on planet Earth as long as we don’t destroy jt in the upcoming years

I agree. This isn't the mission to be a guinea pig for ... too many things can go wrong, but Elon may actually pull it off with a few brave souls before the next decade is over. I hope he does.

I'm with you both on this... Once they've perfected the process, then yes! But only if we can take our family members.

I'd like to visit Mars but would prefer not to spend six months or greater to travel there.

I hear ya ... but if you were gonna go, now would be a pretty good time, when we're all quarantined for months anyway
