I would go to the Moon if it meant my death.
I would go to Mars if it meant my death.

I don't understand why outer space doesn't boggle the young minds ...

I would go.

It would boggle young peopel's mind, theymight just want to live first...

Thank you for being open for the scrifice, but I fear given the price of bringinge a person to another celestial body, they will take young people and bring them back.

On second thought the moon isn't worth it.

To be the first man on Mars would be worth the death.

You cannot enjoy the accomplishment after you die.

Everyone dies so the trick is to do something that will immortalize you by being remembered.
I think Achilles had the same concept.

The pleasure will be all theirs. The dead don't remember.

On the one hand, with a pathologically literal view of the world, this is correct.
On the other hand, it misses the point spectacularly badly.

I heard it said, "I don't want to achieve immortality by my works, I want to achieve immortality by not dying'... At least Woody Allen said that, don't know who did the original.

I agree in principal but it would have to be out of our solar system for it to be intriguing enough to die for.
There’s probably not much we don’t, or won’t soon, know about mars.
Will we die the instant we arrive or will we have time to mess with the rovers and send some selfies back?
