I remember looking at a site that were planning a Mars mission and they expected you to pay in order to go on it. I have no idea why anyone would pay to be stuck on Mars..

Really? You can't image why? The answer is simple and one word: adventure.

I would pay to be sent to Mars. I would not pay to be dropped into the Pacific.

That difference may not make sense to you, but it really doesn't matter if you don't understand it. Nobody is trying to convince you to do it yourself.

You are underestimating the number of people who are interested in both a morally and socially acceptable suicide method and a claim to fame in science.
