What Would YOU Bring To Mars?

I have always loved those "What would you bring to an abandoned island?" scenarios, so I thought that it would be cool to have one. I changed it to Mars to make it cooler. :p

Due to the ever increasing technology, scientists have now developed a way for life on Mars. You have been selected for a 50 year expedition on mars. There is only space for 3 things (or people/pets), due to the size of your space craft. What would you bring?

P.S. Things that need to be charged (i.e. computers, iPods, etc.) come with a cable without taking up that extra space in your ship.
 
Aside from the usual food and water
I'd definitely bring my iPhone.
I hope Mars has unlimited internet access. lol
 
A wolf, a goat and a cabbage.

Seriously? Probably a decent dune buggy. Fuel and spare tires. Or if they have one already on the ship, then maybe my iPod/iPhone with all my driving music on it.

Much appreciated!

:D
 
damn it, someone already posted the towel joke. :p


It depends, what's the weather and accommodation like? Will there be clean running water, electricity, food, air and, you know, stuff like that?
If it's just an unpopulated unexplored version of earth then I would bring
my husband,
a laptop, a big one, with the most amazing webcam and wireless and infinite amount of disk space for every movie and TV show and song ever made, even ones made in the future (hey, this is not exactly a non-fiction question here)
and some plants. Every place could use more plants.
 
Def not wireless internet access, at its closest Mars is somewhere in the range of 55 million km from Earth. This works out to something in the range of 7-8 minutes of travel 1 way(at the speed of light), imagine trying to load MacRumors if you had an eight minute ping? By the time you post someone has already won the thread.

Assuming that food/air/living facilities are provided I would bring a nice big tv and some friends.

Hells yeah, lets take that **** to MARS.

Edit again: The trampoline, not the kids.

Errr, we have more gravity here, dude. :p But I don't know, maybe you southern hemisphere upside down walkers have different rules, you know, down under. :D
 
Didn't you know iBlue? The further down from the north pole you go the lower the gravitational constant goes. By the time you hit the South America it's somewhere in the range of 3m/s^2(I have no idea how to do superscript on a mac!).

Trampoline would be intense though, the gravity iirc is something like 38% of earth gravity, mad high jumps plz.
