My late friend Bill Carnahan wanted to go. He was pretty old at the time. He said "Send us old guys there. We'll be happy to stay and you won't have tp bring us back."

Bill was a neat guy who was a member of the Austin Astronomical Society and the founder of the "Association for Pushing Gravity Research" that held conferences and gave awards for papers and published some booklets on Pushing Gravity theory.

My late uncle, Homer Shoop, wanted me to arrange to have his ashes spread on Mars. Homer was the best bridge player in the world over the age of 75. He played tennis with trick shots and gave exhibitions around the world, including at Monaco where he made the Prince laugh so hard he fell out of his chair. Neither of these guys would've asked the question.
