Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Ok, but 2050 is over 25 years away. If he can get people to sign on then he can get some money coming in, and he'll be a billionaire running away to Brazil long before 2050. It seems to me that his plan is solid.

.... You know what, that's an excellent idea.

Hey do you want to go to live on Mars? I have a solid plan and you can put a downpayment right now to secure your seat! Hurry, only 3 spots remaining!

Sorry, you've got to come up with something unique. You can't just copy Mars One. At least pick a new planet! (It sounds like Venus is taken now as well, you snooze you lose)

Ah sheeit, well if we can't go up then we must go down! Journey to the centre of the earth where it's probably going to be colder than up here in 25 years!

Now you're talking! Where can I sign up? I have more money than sense so I'd be willing to throw a few hundred thousand for a ticket, or even a million if you'll put me on the first trip!
