Please Shut the Gate.

Space A lot of people are game for a one-way ticket to Mars — more than 100,000 of them:

"Mars One, the Dutch nonprofit that’s offering one-way tickets to the red planet, appears to have hit a milestone. Back in April, when the project first began accepting applications from the general public, we asked whether anyone would be willing to take them up on the offer. Apparently, more than 100,000 people would. That’s right, more than 100,000 people have applied to take a one-way trip to Mars."

Let's hope at least some of them are poets.
