Talk:The Colonization Application/@comment-4793317-20150211115423

Personally I think that Sheldon's personality would have to wiped, rewritten and reloaded for him to want to go to Mars. Even though Howard may have gone to the space station, Sheldon couldn't last more than eleven minutes in a steam pipe tunnel. Going to spece has a million times more dangers, almost all that Sheldon has a phobia for. And that Mars project is a one-way ticket which is also scary. Even if he won a Nobel Prize, the company planning the colony would look for person with different skills other than a theoretical physicist. They need medical doctors, technicians etc. to run the colony. Sorry Sheldon, but I don't think you're leaving the planet.
