“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Mars' first colonists must breed

So the Mars One project has whittled the field of applicants for Mars colonist down from 20,000 to 100. Now they'll bring those 100 together for 5 days of rigorous teamwork testing and standard NASA evaluations.
Presumably the whole point of human colonization of another planet is to reproduce, otherwise what's the point? It occurred to me that perhaps one of the criteria be that you must be desirable to the opposite gender, in order to facilitate mating.
I'm guessing age discrimination is why they didn't pick me because it couldn't have been undesirability.

This prime specimen of human evolution would meet the above requirements, ideally.
