Yeah, it would be like a trip to a Sandals resort, but without the beach, the food, the water, the livable temperatures, the ozone to filter UV rays, and the oxygen.  Yeah, no oxygen could be a problem.  But you could live in a pressurized hut with your dying comrades for a few weeks.  Yeah, the best weeks of your short life.  Unless, of course, the landing doesn't go so well.  Then the vacation is shortened a bit.

Well, it sounds like Cyril Kornbluth's magnificent novella, The Marching Morons.

I just want to know if the organizers of this little field trip have reserved seats for themselves. They are strangely silent on that point...
