I'd volunteer. It would be the adventure of a lifetime (literally).

But this is something that's not going to be allowed.

Look at all the safety measures they're putting in spacecraft to ensure people live. No way is anyone going to approve a one way trip to Mars.

I sometimes wish people were more comfortable with their own mortality and death in general, but that's how all the humans with "warrior genes" died off.



"No way is anyone going to approve a one way trip to Mars."

If you would have the rockets and equipment and a place in a small state to launch the rockets: who do you need to approve it?


That's a long way off, if it ever happens. Rocket launches will be tightly regulated, in fact they already are as ICBMs. Any private launches without approval from a big power (or all of them) will likely be stopped by any means.
