I'd do it, but then, I'm no where near smart enough to do anything useful on there.
For anyone who accepts that death is the end, and that we only live on in the memory of family etc. what greater honour would it be to be the first man on Mars? We will end up colonising it someday, so to be the first assuming you could achieve things that aided us getting there would be unbelievable!
And why does anyone else get a say in it? I'm not even sovereign over my own life now on this planet, some government can tell me where I'm allowed to snuff it. Thats just silly. Its hardly suicide to live out your natural born life just on another rock...
