Mars, Anyone?

I do not want to be a contestant on shows like “Big Brother”, “Survivor”, “The Real Housewives Of Champaign”, “What Not To Wear”, or any other reality television show.

However….

Thanks to a Nobel Peace Prize physicist from Denmark and the co-creator of Big Brother, I can be part of a reality trip to Mars.  Next year they will start the training for potential astronauts.  Everything from training, to selecting the astronauts, to the flight, and colonization will be recorded.  Their plan is to have the first team arrive on Mars in 2023 and by 2033 there will be 20+ people living on Mars.

Here’s the rub…it’s a one-way trip.

I will be making history.  I will go down in the books as one of the first humans on Mars.  We all know that there have already been actual Martians on Earth.  Just ask Mulder, aliens are real.  This is a real possibility.  I can be one of the first Earthlings on Mars.

My other astronaut friends and I will be having babies on Mars.  I will help populate Mars.  Oh, wait, I’ll be 50 and I’m pretty sure I won’t be having babies.  Maybe one of my girls can go with me and then I will be the first grandma on Mars.

So here are my questions…..

Will the first baby born on Mars be the first actual Martian recognized by Earthlings?  Will it have dual citizenship?  On Earth and Mars?  Should it be named Marius?
