We could send fat people?
I would settle for sending 24 liberals to the moon to never return. Can I pick them?

...I like to slice it up and enjoy it a slice at a time.

In America, Mars was replaced by Snickers Almond.
good luck in getting that off the ground

Typical Congressional nonsense! :rotfl:
Congress wants to send a person to Mars — but doesn't want to pay the bill
This part confirms what I posted earlier, that a manned Martian mission won't be possible until the mid-to-late 2030's at the absolute earliest. This is a quote from NASA's Inspector General Paul Martin:
Even after the SLS and Orion are fully developed and ready to transport crew NASA will continue to face significant challenges concerning the long-term sustainability of its human exploration program. For example, unless NASA begins a program to develop landers and surface systems its astronauts will be limited to orbital missions of Mars. Given the time and money necessary to develop these systems, it is unlikely that NASA would be able to conduct any manned surface exploration missions until the late 2030s at the earliest.

TB already posted it, but I was thinking, buy and large, that is a good plan.

I couldn't find any info on astronaut/cosmonaut/sinonaut weights to find out who is the heaviest person to ever go into space. I did find out that former NASA astronaut Jim Wetherbee (flew 5 Shuttle missions) is 6'4". He must weigh at least 200 lbs just looking at this photo (far right).

The Mars One plan is totally delusional
Despite those beautiful images of swirling red clouds and sprawling landscapes, Mars is an barren desert that is incredibly inhospitable to life.
Indeed, temperatures around minus 67 degrees Fahrenheit, a near total lack of atmosphere to protect from deadly radiation, and regular violent dust storms lead most experts to believe that a human colony on the red planet in the foreseeable future would be very difficult and extremely expensive.
And so when a company like Mars One says we can start a human colony on Mars in 10 years with a $6 billion budget, it is laughable.
"I don't want to get in their (Mars One’s) way, but I'm skeptical that it can be accomplished on the timescale that they say," Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Museum of Natural History and host of the new National Geographic show StarTalkTV, told Business Insider.
Mars One doesn’t own any of its own space travel technology and has no existing contracts with companies that do. It plans to send four people at a time to start setting up a colony, and it plans to finance these missions through a reality TV show starring the colonizers, but no broadcast partners have been announced.
“It looks like a scam,” John Logsdon, a space policy expert at George Washington University, told BuzzFeed News.
