Question time boys.
Would you go to mars / some other planet with like another 100 random people to build a colony?
You'd go there forever, or at least that's the plan. There's a chance for the technology for return trips to develop but it's not certain. You'd live in a base as the land is terraformed (slowly, the tech isn't quite there yet). The other people were screened so they don't have a criminal past, all have reasonable education and were chosen on the basis of having a diverse set of skills available for the colony.
So, would you?

I'm not sure. I get frustrated quickly living with people in close quarters. the inability to go back home or bring someone you love/care about is a pretty big bummer. it'd be a cool thing to be remembered for but I just don't think I'm capable of doing that happily.

I mean I guess the exciting stuff about it, besides the sciency stuff for nerds, is that there's a sort of world progression, right? Like, as shit terraforms, your "world" (base) expands and you can add in new stuff like plants or tech or leisure shit. So it's boring on one hand but also there's permanently something new on your life which can't really be said for life as a corporate drone back on earth.

if there's one thing the human race would be good at, it would be that I suppose. I mean it would be billy-goating rad to be a part of it, I'm just not sure how happy I could be. imagine if no real sense of community develops among those 100 people, it would be like the spame podcast multiplied. if everyone DID get along for the most part, and there was alcohol, fu ck yeah I'd do it.
also it would be ideal if there was a way to communicate with loved ones back on earth. and/or the internet.
