Any volunteer for 1 way space mission?

Ever wonder if we will ever live on other planet during our life time? No Chance, I'll say. The truth is looking at the pace we are heading, we're nowhere close in achieving.

In the early millennium, we conquered new land in such a short time; Thru' sails and later steam engines. Look at us now... we step on moon in 1960s yet we are still refusing to move ahead. Human stop taking risks.

We send half bake robot with a old 286 PC, black n white camera; stop making any more shuttles, send only a handful of people out to space, on huge budget, btw still get cut every time... Come on .. the Chinese invented rockets thousand years ago on firecrackers didn't they. We are still using the same technology.

Virgin airline will probably be able to commercialise around 'earth' space touring, but where is our adventurous nature anymore? If we ask around, I'm sure there will be thousands if not more volunteers to sign up for 1 way space missions, instead of queuing up for iPhones!
