So, "The Martian Chronicles" is enough of a pre-cautionary tale for me that would prevent me from wanting to do that. And also, I live in New York, I live in the city [with] my friends and family. And I am not so adventurous that I’d be willing to risk not coming back for whatever I might gain from going to Mars.](https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2013/10/USA_Week243_LawrenceCopenhaver_ChristianWatjen-1200x800.jpg)
