An interesting subject came up while i was working and we had a little downtime. If it were an option, would you spend the last few years of your life on another planet? For those of you unfamilar with how this could happen i give you this nice little article as a subject matter

so yes...the idea of retiring to mars seems like quite the pipe-dream at the moment. but, at the rate in which technology and science advances these days is it really out of the question? To me, the idea of spending let's say the last fifteen years of my life helping to shape a civilization on another planet is far to amazing an opportunity to pass up. and it would seem at least, as that may be possible....
the question i have for you, is the same one myself and my three friends spent an hour debating....would you go to mars to spend your last remaining years? yes? no? and why...
