Capricorn One is a 1978 science fiction thriller movie about a Mars landing hoax. It was written and directed by Peter Hyams and produced by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment. It stars Elliott Gould with James Brolin, Sam Waterston and O. J. Simpson as the astronauts.
Although Capricorn One is thematically a typical 1970s government-conspiracy thriller with similarities to Hyams's subsequent film Outland the story was inspired by allegations that the Apollo Moon landing was a hoax.
I don't think I could do it. Would be too lonely and wouldn't be able to interact in person with a large community ever again (unless technology improves quick enough). Would be quite depressing.
Serious question, but why not focus attention on underground or ocean colonization before Mars? We have a planet where the most inhabitable areas are quickly becoming over populated. It seems like a waste to put resources into going to Mars when we have a lot of issues that are more local and more pressing.
The entire population of the world can fit in the state of Texas giving each human an acre each... It's poor planning not over population.
It'll be funny when they start having equal opportunity debates about who goes. Hmmmm Mars is looking awfully white...
Relationships would be a disaster too! What if you hook up with someone and then they dump you for the other dude there and one chick is a lesbo. You're essentially the third wheel for a few years.
Imagine being that guy or girl that no one liked?
Or somehow you're the only one there with cold sores. The world finally has a chance to rid itself of cold sores so you're SOL as far as ever kissing a member of the opposit sex again.
Shhh, don't tell anyone, but that guy has herpes! Good luck ever getting any!
Would they allow gay people? From a colonizing standpoint being a homosexual (male/female) wouldn't really make sense. I guess they can still do it just to procreate but you'd need to have any gay people agree that they're going there and they need to do it with the opposite sex whether they like it or not!!! There will be none of this "I don't want to have kids" business.
