"Current UK spending on civil space activities stands at about £207m a year. Any involvement in human spaceflight would require a substantial increase in funding from the government." You want us to Lobby Parliament?

Could be a laugh, I suppose - I could take a bag of sand up with me and create the best meteor shower ever seen!

Takes too long to get there, I'd get bored of looking out the window and just seeing stars. Whereas I'd never tire of Earth's bounty... woohoo I'm a Patriot! ;D

Pfft Earth gets boring if you stay in one place for longer than 2 minutes at a time.

Yeah two minutes. Anyway it'll probably only actually take about 200 days to get to Mars I've just found out, depending on where the planets are in their orbits are of course, well funking worth it. Where is you sense of adventure everyone!?

You could stay for longer than it takes to get there but it'd most likely be about 30 days, probably a bit less. Fair enough Greeny, don't forget there'll be plenty of time to sleep on the rocket. Cards and some whisky ok I'll pack when I get home. Jules men are from Mars women are from Venus, trust me if there are any women on Venus they'll not be the kind you want to keep in your list for a booty call. ;D
