WSU Prof Pushes One-Way Mars Trips

In this file image provided by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope a close-up of the red planet Mars is shown. Two scientists (Dirk Schulze-Makuch of Washington State and Paul Davies of Arizona State) are proposing we send volunteers to Mars and leave them there. They say the mission would mark the beginning of long-term human colonization of Mars, with numerous follow-up trips. The colleagues contend one-way missions could happen a lot quicker and cheaper, and it is essential to begin colonizing another planet as a hedge against a catastrophe that makes Earth uninhabitable.
