Big Brother on Mars

  Quote

 

It would see two dozen pioneers abandon Earth for a new start on a cold, dry, oxygen-less planet some 55 million kilometres (34 million miles or six months’ travel) away.

The high cost of the project, an estimated six billion dollars (4.4 billion euros), precludes the option of a return trip.

The trial resettlement is meant to be mainly funded by a reality-TV show about the project.

I like the way she described earth as "too cramped", as if she'll be able to frolic around Mars no bother.

Up side is that BB Mars edition won't create more useless celebrities being tabloid fodder once it's over.

let's be honest, bouncing around the martian terrain in a well-made ATV would be fucking fun

Maybe they can force the losers to trek around Mars with no suits on.

Yeah, and she's living in Paris.. If she needs to feel less cramped why not move to Siberia, Svalbard or Antarctica? Much easier living conditions than in Mars.

Sometimes it's better to stick to what your psychosis tells you to do rather than listening to reason. Most of the times it's not though.
