NASA needs a bit more incentive than this and they should go to another planet like Europa instead of Mars.

>another planet
>like Europa
I can't believe they're actually sending people to Mars. Is this for that reality show?
Or maybe it's the illusion we are going to Mars right before the major world conflict. They've been promising a Mars mission or a moon colonization and never deliver. I don't believe we are ever going to attempt this.
>There are "Americans" that don't want the United States to claim their rightful Martian clay just like we made the moon a U.S. territory
I bet you faggots think manifest destiny was "wrong".

>Future astronauts must also have three years of related professional experience or at least 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft.
No, it's an inside joke.

ohhhh puh-leaseeeee. It will go to military pilot studs exclusively like it always does. As a marine corps officer myself I know getting in to this is a pain in the ass and very competative. Getting a pilots contract means you are physically flawless.
And this is just to fly a venom huey and you split that responsibility with another officer. They wouldnt trust you with equipment that expensive like this, then you can imagine how perfect you have to be to be trusted with a freaking space shuttle to mars.

Nigger the USA created that technology.

I honestly would not expect the first attempt to succeed anyways, waste of good pilots.

we have been wasting good pilots for a long time amigo.
especially in the corps

I think you underestimate the spread of multiculturalism and diversity. Expect half the crew to be female with a sprinkling of minorities and at least one gay.

If space ever becomes easily accessible, I'll likely go hang around the asteroid belt for a couple thousand years.
