This is a beautiful old door from 1845 that can be viewed inside BCE place in downtown Toronto. It's part of a restored bank building that has been preserved there. A modern skyscraper has been built around the old bank.
I was at my hairdresser's last week and one of the hairdressers told me about this article where 6 Canadians have made the shortlist for a one way trip to Mars in 2024. A shortlist from about 200,000 people. Is this for real?

Lovely door! I wonder why people want to go to Mars? Glad I can't afford it! Valerie
That's a nice way to preserve history.
As for a trip to Mars, I would prefer to go to the moon.
That is a beautiful old door. We have several of those around here on our old buildings. As for Mars, I haven't done much reading about it, but I ran across an article this week where scientists were saying it wasn't for real.
There's also a woman from our area that's on the Mars list. Not something I'd want to do.
lovely old building!
I have no idea of the short list, wouldn't surprise me though,
I can tell you the Mars thing is for real. The really...fun? part of it though is that it's a one way trip. I believe it's for a reality show too. They're sending people to live on Mars and these people are also perfectly accepting of the fact they won't return.
Oh my. A once in a lifetime chance. But then, who would want that?
Mars in 2024? even NASA can't do that.
Someone once said it this way to me, "eventually, we're gonna have to move."
Wow, that door is gorgeous! I think maybe we should start with a colony on the moon before Mars, but the U.S. doesn't have much of a space program anymore so even if I had that kind of influence, it wouldn't much matter...
yes the door is gorgeous like front door of a home, nostalgic looking at it, as for the one way trip, is it legal to propose such a program
A young girl from Fresno is on that short list. She has some science acumen that would make her a good fit. She is very excited and hopes to make the final cut. It is a one-way trip due to the distance, but it is very feasible and looks to be a "go."
lol
good point Lisa. Great to have you blogging again.
good to know about this other article
unreal
Beautiful door!
One way to Mars? No thank you!
