Are we all going to send our waste with them, along with food and water? NASA has done studies that lining potential interplanetary ships with human waste (and food and water) can help block harmful radiation as a sort of shield.
So, for the good of the mission, we all must poop.

Against my will? Have you not been paying attention? My wife and I have actually signed up for the mission for real.
Lucky :[ I am too young lol. However, Glorious Leader shall prevail and go to mars (thanks to CC).
Applied. Not yet selected. I have relevant skills, but my age is also a bit of a hindrance (I'm no spring chicken!). As are my kidney stones.
I hope you get accepted!! That would be cool
Send me a mars rock would ya? lol (oh wait.. they wouldn't have mail would they..)

this is one of those ideas that (even if it works) makes you wonder who originally thought about it, and what the hell they must have been smoking at the time

Yeah but don't you have to later eat the food? Seems like it would all come out in the wash so to speak.

Soda is a leading CAUSE of kidney stones, not the other way around. The carbonation leaches calcium from your bones, and other aspects of soda act as diuretics, dehydrating you. Bad combo.

Yeah. You know the NASA budget's bad when they're looking at that as a shield. <grin>

Dude, if it's coming out in the wash, I think you're doing something wrong.

I voted for the TGD, since the Mars Colony will undoubtedly need some sort of legal service. I can't remember TGD's specialty, though.

I think Mars would be
way cooler if it was like the Old West or something so I'm going the complete opposite direction on this one.

The old west had a legal service. They were guns. So, that just means we need to arm TGD with law books and weapons.

If the guns are the legal service then why do you need TGD?

Duh, you aren't thinking funky. TGD is a crackshot (probably). He's the decider of justice.

Would that be the most important attribute for this mission?

Probably a cast iron psyche, considering we have no idea what impact permanently leaving their home planet would have on an individual. Either that or lots of experience with mind altering drugs with not only a decent supply but a means to propagating said mind altering drugs for the purpose of coping with the home-sickness.

Well, I think someone was applying to be the medical officer whilst Andrew set out the main skill he required for the position. While I suspect we may need a urologist to treat Woodruff's kidney stones with Cocacola.

Let me tell you...when a kidney stone hits, "irritable" ain't even in play.
(Passed a six-centimeter stone last year. That was a bitch.)

You sure? That would be nearly 3 inches.
