MY IMAGINARY BUCKET LIST

Hi Boris,

Just received the Form by mail plane today - so will send it in the next mail plane which is next week.

- Guess what? - I have just received a letter from " Inspiration Mars Foundation" They are offering the Trip to Planet Mars to me. I do not remember exactly how it all started. About 2 years ago I put in an Application for a special Space mission to explore this far away Planet called Mars. For the first six months I was waiting anxiously to be selected into the group subtitled " Advanced Stage of Colonization of Planet Mars". Apparently there are regular flights to Mars from Planet Earth operating from 9 countries of the world. So to get there is not a problem. However one has to be selected to be included into the mission. 6 months have passed and I heard nothing from them.

Time has changed, only the best human beings are selected into this Planet Colonization. You have to be physically fit, must have special educational skills, able to think bilateral and be a person of a good character. To be a person of a good character - as if former colonisations were not done by great adventurists, dubious personalities who had adventurist nature, strong spirit and who were ready to take risk? What about Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés who conquered South America and destroyed old Maya and Inca Civilizations? Was he a person of a good character? Nowadays he would be charged with crimes against humanity.

Now when I had completely forgotten about my Application, I got this letter informing me that I have been selected with the group of other people for a special mission, "Life on Planet Mars". I felt surprised, happy and ready to start packing. I did know exactly for how long I was going and the luggage is limited anyway. You are allowed to take with you not more that 30kg of luggage. I went to the website "Coloplamars" and got all useful information, reviews and evaluation reports from members of previous missions and that is what I have found out: the Planet Mars is quite suitable for human habitation. The atmosphere is oxygenous, the climate is favourable, it is most similar to the climate of Spain. There are no large predators so your life is in no danger .

I will have to complete " Competence and Leadership Course ". I will also have to learn a new information system for sending my reports to Planet Earth.
