      Absolutely – I love what SpaceX are doing as a commercial company. Unfortunately, it seems pretty difficult for non-US citizens to get involved with SpaceX. But I definitely wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to work on a Mars mission with the European Space Agency, as I’m a proud European and Ireland is a member of ESA!

      I think the Engineering aspects are very exciting, but I won’t be volunteering to go there, even if they invited me.
      Fortunately, I won’t have to decide, because there is zero chance that they’d invite me to go!
