Title: We should be supporting this.

I know you're all going to be cranky sourpuses about this, but we all should be supporting This Thunderclap (https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/20278-meet-the-mars-one-candidates?locale=en) so we can get both people and cryptocurrencies off this lame planet. :P https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/20278-meet-the-mars-one-candidates?locale=en

I don't know why these people want to waste so much money and risk their lives to visit a planet which is already declared dead.

I think that for some people earth is just not enough :)
In more serious note, sometime in the future we will have to colonize other planets because we will destroy all the earth's resources.
From this viewpoint, it will be good idea to support this project now.

It is one way journey. They are not risking their life. They have lost interest in it.

Leaving heavy footprints after themselves though, for some people that's what matters.

Just think - what would be the costs for that type of space journey - private funding sources can not do this  ;D

Private families have more money than all of the govs combined x10, if not more.  Would they spend it on space exploration? No, so your point stands.

Mars one is the project of Virgin Galactic, right?

There is no risk. They are guaranteed dead once they leave.

This is great conclusion. They are dead on arrival. But from the other side aren't we all dead? They may at least something uncanny.

There's not going to be colonization of other planets, there's going to be more entertainment for people so they don't riot so much and at some point even technological development will stop  :)
Then WW3, global hunger and burning hot temperatures  :) And only greedy people on this planet who only care about themselves :)
That's the future  :)

We have been for the last few centuries.  Look at what has happened.

Do you really think the current governments are going to change and stop raping the earth.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Question, if we go to another planet (a pretty complicated solution IMO) wouldn't the governments also follow us there? (or will most probably go first since they are the ones with billions of dollars budgets). also is it going to be a "wild west" thingy?  :D

Irrelevant discussion  :) It will never happen. They shut down nasa sooner or later because rich doesn't have to pay taxes anymore and every engineer is forced to design sports cars for the rich instead of spaceships  :)
