Would you want to move to Mars?

True! They should hold a competition to decide who will press the button to launch the Bieber into space!

I was reading some more about going to Mars (no I am not considering becoming an astronaut!) and it said that the amount of radiation you would receive on a round trip to Mars would probably give you cancer - and that's just to get there and back, not spend time there. So goodness knows how they intend to shield their Mars Big Brother contestants from the radiation.

Also some people are speculating that there will be space war between the Mars colonists and people on Earth. Given that people on the same planet do seem to have a penchant for blowing each other up and starting wars, that seems a reasonable assumption, especially if the Mars colony lasted long enough for children to be born there - they might then consider themselves Martians rather than Earthlings. Yeah! So then I was thinking that if they have 3D printers maybe they could print themselves weapons but then I realised that might be tricky if they only have the powders to print food. Pizza guns that fire noodles! I feel a space edition of the Omelette Plan may be forthcoming.
