So a company in the Netherlands is apparently exploring the possibility of sending permanent settlers to Mars as early as 2022. Yeah, it could all be a pipe dream, but...

I hope its not. I hope there is something to this. And I want to apply.

I mean, how cool would it be... to be one of the first? To go, to risk everything in order to settle a new home?

I don't know why, but this has really, REALLY, caught my imagination. So, if it was legit, would you try? Could you leave everything Terra behind to forge a new life somewhere else? Would you risk your life in order to take your place in History?

I know its crazy, and I know that (depressingly) I am probably already too old, but... I want to. I mean I REALLY want to.

Is that totally nuts?
