#1 Re: Human missions » Against the Human Exploration of Mars if Everyone can't go. » 2005-10-06 09:18:14

Traveling to Mars is not a lark, it is a JOB.  You hire people for a job who are qualified.  I'm sure that the checkout clerk at Wal-Mart is a nice guy, but he is not qualified to be on a Mars mission.  He has none of the skills or knowledge to allow him to contribute to the trip. 

What about handicapped people?  Should we invite them along too?  Wouldn't want to discriminate, you know.  A quadrepalegic and an epileptic would make great additions to the crew, I'm sure.

The definition of "discriminate" the original poster needs to learn is "To make sensible decisions; judge wisely."
