Kamikaze Mars mission is back in news

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/6673981.html
Buzz Aldrin thinks it's a good idea; I hereby nominate Buzz to be the
first man on Mars.
But Buzz needs someone to keep him company up there, and given the bold
imagination and innovation it will take to survive for long in that
hostile environment, the obvious choice is that expert on absolutely
everything, Dr. Michio Kaku...a man whose comprehensive scientific
knowledge puts even Mr. Wizard to shame.
See them boldly standing beneath the whirling moons of Barsoom.
See them realizing that I have sabotaged their radio before liftoff, so
that I need never need hear either of their voices again as I leave them
marooned on that remote and forbidding sphere.
See me laughing my ass off back on Earth while dressed like Ming The
Merciless.
Ah, bliss.

KAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

Maybe the poor sod will forget all about Planet Earth?


"I know that a few Apollo-era astronauts have said that they would
do a one-way mission," said Leroy Chiao"

Oh, ya mean like in that movie Space Cowboys?
Ya, that's a good one. Thank God NASA turned to Hollywood
for their ideas. For a while there I was getting worried.

Send Buzz please.

Michio Kaku must realize he is dealing with the _superior_ mind...
Did anyone else think that he saw the gap in the science television
ecosystem created by Sagan's death, and hopped in there before the
corpse was even cold?

I like that. Very cute.

Yes in deed it's cute, and at least currently the only viable
alternative unless you've got a Boeing OASIS or that of my LSE-CM/ISS
to work from. Why not end your advanced life doing exactly what you
love best?

We could always send Dick Cheney and Henry Kissinger, except there's
no one else on Mars for either of them to screw with.

Pat, there are days when I think that you REALLY need to get a life...



This kind of article makes me think the desperation "Mars Direct" plan B
isn't going anywhere. They've become desperate to allow this kind of
trial balloon to be floated.

But then you're just as phony as most everyone else. So, why are you
even here?

Are you the official NASA asshole, or just the butt-wipe in charge of
infomercial damage-control?

You even please "OM" to no end, so you must be another one of his
kind.
