About this listen

"The funniest, most brutally honest take on Mars colonization you’ll ever read!"

Ever dreamed of leaving Earth behind and starting a new life on Mars? Think again. In "MARS! Or Bust!", J.P. Ames takes you on a laugh-out-loud journey through the absurd, uncomfortable, and downright terrifying realities of living on the Red Planet.

What’s waiting for you on Mars?

  • No running water. Say goodbye to showers, flushing toilets, and casual hydration.

  • No privacy. Your "home" is a glorified tin can where everyone hears everything.

  • No escape. Once you’re there, you’re stuck—forever.

  • No economy. What exactly are you going to do on a barren, lifeless rock?

But wait, there’s more!

  • Bob, your bunkmate, won’t stop farting.

  • Your "doctor" is a geologist who once skimmed a first-aid book.

  • Your "luxury bathroom" is a bag with a zipper and some industrial-strength wipes.

Why Mars is worse than a Supermax prison:

  • At least prisons have running water, hot meals, and fresh air. On Mars, you’ll be lucky to survive the first week without losing your mind.

Why you should stay on Earth:

  • Earth has oceans, air, and food—three things Mars lacks. Plus, you can always go camping if you really want to suffer.

Praise for "MARS! Or Bust!":

  • "A hilarious, no-holds-barred reality check for anyone who thinks Mars is the future. Ames’ wit is as sharp as a Martian dust storm."

  • "If you’ve ever considered colonizing Mars, read this book first. It might just save your life—or at least your sanity."

Don’t make the biggest mistake of your life. Read "MARS! Or Bust!" and discover why Mars is the worst idea since… well, ever.
