A One-Way, One-Person Mission to Mars

[Sundae]

Surely it would have to be someone who could provide meaningful data in return. I mean it's not really just sending someone onto a planet to live alone, it's sending someone to explore and provide information without the option of returning.

The world was populated by tribes and individuals who took journeys uncertain of the outcome.

I'd do it. I may not have the right skills or psychological make-up for it, but it doesn't seem like a whack-job suicide mission to me. It would be a chance to push the boundaries of experience and existence. My only fear would be that the world (Earth) would erupt in some sort of global conflict or revolution in my absence. Millions of miles from home, no way to live independently, running out of supplies and no contact with another human being... Hmmmm. Think I've hit the snag. I'm too much of a worrier.
