A One-Way Trip To Mars

A One-Way Trip to Mars By Elton Camp Thousands are clamoring to take part When colonization of Mars does start To inhabit this planet, humans choose And existing technologies will use Mars rovers will prepare the way The base where humans will stay All that they need will be in place When the Martian surface they face A transit vehicle will carry the crew On arrival, plenty of work they do Marssuits they must always wear The environment’s hostile out there The air is non-breathable and thin Plus radiation that life could end Water & oxygen they must produce From Mars resources--no excuse Will this project really succeed? Can they find all that they need? Supply ships and more people arrive Every two years so they can stay alive Those who go can never return Their place in history they earn If anything should go awry There’s no option but to die ---------------------------------- (Over 100,000 people have completed applications to be included in the Mars-One Project.)
