Mars Mission Planners Seek Suicidal Farmers



Mars Base Concept

According to this report, colonists on Mars have to possess specific capabilities.
Previous research has suggested that humans on other planets - and on longhaul space voyages - will be forced to subsist on a grim diet of hand-cultivated cabbage and greens grown largely in their own excrement.[…]

Earthbound farmers are known to be at "high risk" of suicide, which might indicate that they're the sort to fancy going to Mars and never coming back to Earth.

NASA is hoping to send a squad of astronauts on a return journey to Mars by 2030, though there is presumably some risk of their ship being mobbed by disillusioned reality-TV farmers sick of turd-garden spinach.
Heh.
