What Would YOU Bring To Mars?

[Old Muley]

Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot and Bender...

Id place a stargate on earth before leaving, and bring a stargate to mars.

there was an episode of Red Dwarf where Hologram had a swing on some planet with less gravity and the ball did a full circumference of the planet haha.

Lots and lots of condoms. Safe sex is important, even with Martian chicks.

Oh, erm.

I would bring pills instead, assuming you know the person.
And probably a towel (what if the girl is only wearing a towel? does that count as 1 or 2?)

Anderson Silva
Rex

And.......The Octagon!

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.

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.

1) I'd bring one of these cool masks:

2) I'd bring a cool watch that makes holograms of myself.

3) I'd "give the people AAIIIYUH!"

I'd bring the internet.

 

[Leto-Parallels]

I'd bring the internet.

You'd get there only to find that Mars already has a way cooler Internet.

I bet you're right. But I wonder if the Mars internet would allow me to stream NCAA games while at work. If so, then awesome. If no, then boo.

I would bring a camera to take pictures and enough gasoline to go back. When I get back I would sell the picture to the NASA and become millionaire. End of story.

 

[Beam42]

Screw with their minds...

I'd stick a shopping trolley in front of the Mars buggy.

 

[pimentoLoaf]

The triple-breasted whores from the flick "Total Recall".

 

[bbbensen]

What would you take to Mars.

Or are you on Mars already?

Of course Im on Mars! I was the first test subject.

 

[timerollson]

Some rims and some chicken wings.

 

[kabunaru]

water
my Macs
PS2
telescope
some food

assuming there is a base on Mars already.

 

[iJohnHenry]

do you think the ball would start on fire after contact because of the speed and everything else going on in space?

Doubt it. Friction combustion needs oxygen.

You'd get there only to find that Mars already has a way cooler Internet.

Like that would be difficult.

Some rims and some chicken wings.

Rims?? You expecting a blizzard??

 

[erickkoch]

A cell phone tower (to make sure my cell phone and Kindle still work)
Cell Phone
Kindle
Nintendo DS with Sudoku

Some cockroaches. I read somewhere that scientists claim those are the only creatures on earth that could survive any length of time on Mars and I'm curious to know if they are right.

A can of roach spray in case they are right.

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.

Gravity only varies ± 0.04 m/s^2 at the most around the world.

I'd bring food. A lot of it. And a water pistol. I know, it would freeze, but it would be cool to see.

 

[yojitani]

My kids and a loaded amazon kindle - how else to get past the limitation on 3 things? Life without books would be miserable.

That was my joking since a post before it thought that gravity in the southern states is lower than on Mars. Sarcasm doesn't translate well on forums.

I have also decided I would bring my PC with me, imagine the overclocks!
