Send any volunteer who is qualified. I bet lots of people would be interested.
Promise them a kick ass video monitor that would fill up one wall of their Mars hovel, and give them a bunch of entertainment to choose from. A huge dish antenna that could pick up 100+ channels of tv which would be beamed to them personally by NASA.
A video phone for chats (more like e-mailed videos with the time delay caused by the distance) with anyone they want.
Not to mention a high speed (with a delay) internet connection for reading the Cellar, etc. Surfing would be slow, clicking on all those links and waiting for the page to load, but a feed of favorite sites would be plenty fast.
It wouldn't be so bad for an introvert with no family or friends. Plus, there would be plenty of work to do to keep busy.
