    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Applications open for Mars One

I wonder if they will still have to pay taxes while on Mars? Heck, figuring on what a gallon of milk would cost you to buy while living there, imagine the windfall in sales taxes.

Seriously, does the technology exist to create a TOTALLY self sufficient colony on another planet? Indefinitely? I wouldn't want my life completely dependent on supply ships coming for the rest of my life.

And unless there is something on Mars that can be used for trade value for supplies, SOMEONE is going to have to subsidize this project for a LONG time.

However, I truly believe that humanity REALLY needs to get some of the eggs out of this single little basket we call Earth before the basket gets shaken up and all the eggs broken. So that first step just HAS to be taken.
 
Wow! What an innovative way to make a few million bucks!
 
Noelle, that's the funniest thing I've read all day, lol!!

Rich, as far as I know, we're still a long way off from making a sustainable colony anywhere. We still haven't figured out how to get people to Mars without them losing so much bone density in the process that they'd still be able to walk once they got there.

Click to expand...

Apparently that is of little concern for the outfit taking the money for those applications..........

Maybe I should start up a swindle, er proposal, to create a colony on the rings of Saturn. Imagine the view! Only $29.95 (non-refundable) no matter who you are or where you live or whether or not this ever becomes a REALITY.
 
Was it $29.95? I saw the click for application - pay with paypal but nothing happened when I clicked it. Oh boy! Trailer park on Mars!

I bet if I moved there that damn land rover would park right next to my ride.
 
Has anyone told those applicants that their cell phones won't work on Mars? :rofl:
 
Thanks for links Vanessa. Was looking through their forum. Those guys really get into it! lol. Played around a bit.
