If you were able to go to Mars where would you go first?

Some people say that travel to Mars even by citizens will be in our lifetime which is just crazy to think about really but where would you go first? Personally I can't wait to go to Mars. Just seeing the sun from a different view point and seeing the Earth would be breathtaking and worth whatever time it took to got there.

I am assuming that since Mars is only a star to the naked eye from here. The same would be true for Earth from Mars. But I remember a Heiniken ad where the robot turned into a bar to attract the aliens, I would probably look that joint up in the phone book cause I'm sure it would be rockin'.

You haven't told us where you would want to go first. I'm not sure I would even want to go to Mars, it seems like an uninhabitable desert.

i would just tool around on the surface, looking for the martians.

I'd go to Mars. Where on Mars? Does it matter? It's just a big desert.

How do they plan on sending people there even citizens in our life time?

"How do they plan on sending people there even citizens in our life time?"

If sci-fi has taught me one thing it's that as soon as humans land a foot on mars, shit happens!!!!

Ah...Mars?

I dunno. It's obviously between Valles Marineris and Olympus Mons. They're really the only two things of interest on Mars. I guess it probably doesn't really matter which I went to first, I'm sure I'd have time to see both. I'm sure they're both spectacular sights, and would love to see them.

EDIT: I just thought I'd explain that Valles Marineris is the largest known canyon in the solar system, and Olympus Mons is the largest known mountain in the solar system. They're both on Mars.

What about you guys? Where would you go first?

Yeh but this one poses a reasonable question not some opinion on a weird fetish.

OK I guess that's true. Anyways, I would go to the martian strip joint."

That sounds a lot like the heaven where Duke Nukem has gone to. Sounds like a plan, but we'll need a designated driver. Bags not it. "

I would go to Cydonia, then listen to "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse, followed by "Map of the Problematique" while marveling at the skyline.

I'm not really sure of my choices.  Where would I go first? Mars or ?  I suppose I wouldn't go to Mars, if that's one of the options.  It would take something crazy like 18 months to travel there and I don't really have that much time to waste seeing some giant red desert.  If the moon is an option, I think I would go to the moon.  It's a MUCH shorter trip and there would probably be some sort of moon colony if there is civilization on Mars.  I would open up a Moon cafe and do some space bounty hunting on the side.  I would go to Mars if it took like an hour, but that's the max.i imagine it would be like going to Barstow, CA.  It's like 2 hours outside of LA and there's nothing there but desert and people willing to live in the desert.  Mars would be a red Barstow in my opinion.  The moon would be the place all the cool kids hang out.  It would be like six flags and Disneyland combined.   Also aliens living on mars would beat the crap out of you, while something that lives on the moon would get it's ass kicked if it messed with me and my superior earth strength.

As someone whose named himself for Obiwan I would have thought you would have headed straight to the cantina to hitch a ride from the space port for the Alderan system

There is only one place I'd go on Mars...my old alma mater.

If only the ability to +1 still existed.

"As someone whose named himself for Obiwan I would have thought you would have headed straight to the cantina to hitch a ride from the space port for the Alderan system "

first i would probably go to that place where they found water and lick it too see what it tastes like

If I could go to Mars, I would first go to Mars.

go to that place where they mine for Mars Bars

"There is only one place I'd go on Mars...my old alma mater.

"

"Ah...Mars?"

Only place I can think of on Mars is the Olympus Mons. So I'd probably go there...and be all "Wow, that's super big...boy, it would sure be swell if I could breathe. Oh well. Goodbye, cruel Mars!"

The strip club where the strippers have three breasteses.

According to DOOM there's a portal to Hell on Mars. So that's where I would go.

I'd find Dr Manhattan and kick him in his blue CG dong for almost fucking us over and for flaunting it for like 2 and half hours

Get your ass to Mars?

I'd really love to hang with my old frat buddies while there...

thats like asking where you would want to go in antartica....nowhere

"thats like asking where you would want to go in antartica....nowhere"

I'd go to Mars once there was a city set up there with Cantinas and whatnot. That, would attract me to Mars.

To the place that provides air as my face would explode somehow.

People who believe they could send us to Mars in this lifetime are unbelievably ignorant.  It takes at least a year to travel there, the amount of supplies needed for that would be insane and I'm sure no one would be willing to do it until they shorten the time.

However back on topic, I probably wouldn't want to go on Mars.  Seems kinda boring to me, although, I would like to see this canyon you guys are talking about.

No way. I mean sure  I'd like to go to Mars, but the chance of something going totally wrong in the beginning is enough for me to wait 5-10 years for people to iron out most of the problems with life support, transport and such.
