What would I pack if I were to go to Mars for real? It takes about 9 months in average to reach it and the one thing I can't get off my mind is cake. How can you survive without it for 9 + 9 + whatever the waiting time in months for the next launch window would be? Argh, all these compromises that we have to make in the name of science!

So I always wanted to do something, always wanted to be able to ask myself for real: If I were to go in to space (on Mars), what would I take with me from Earth? Now it almost makes sense to do this and what . Well, drum roll ...  I'd take the "Songs of Distant Earth" and Oceanic so that at least I can listen to the songs of the seas as it seems that water will be scarce. We are being told that the simulation is so real, it deals with the lack of water too. After all, we are going in the middle of the desert.

How about you?

Excerpt
What would they be, the ten things you would take with you on Mars?

And since I would also love to see Kiwi Mars next year we'd better start thinking in advance. So please e-mail me your replies and I will add them to the list (I'll make one). :) And whilst I will be waiting for them, I will also think of a prize for the best letter and how to vote for it. And remember, it's ten things YOU cannot part with if you have to go to Mars :).
