I don’t think retirees are going to go for this:
"To Boldly Go" is the work of Dirk Schulze-Makuch, a Washington State University professor, and Paul Davies, a physicist at Arizona State University. It urges the United States to accelerate its plans to colonize Mars by sending up two-man teams of space explorers.
There's just a tiny little hitch: There wouldn't be a return trip back to Earth.
"You would send a little bit older folks, around 60 or something like that," Schulze-Makuch said.
"The astronauts would go to Mars with the intention of staying for the rest of their lives, as trailblazers of a permanent human Mars colony," the study said.
