How Richard Branson plans to populate Mars

Youre going to want physicians,youre going to want comedians,youre going to want fun people,beautiful people,ugly people,a good cross-section of what happens on Earth on Mars.

People have got to be able to get on together,because its going to be quite confined, he said.

Branson said that he too would like to take the journey,but only if his wife allowed him.

It may be a one-way trip because the energy to get you there is relatively easy,the energy to get you back is quite difficult.

So maybe Ill wait till the last 10 years of my life,and then maybe go,if my wife will let me, he added.
