This looks a lot like suffering.
The choices we make during mission planning and execution will have a lot of symbolic power so we really need to think about the cultural messages we are sending to the world. For example:

The first astronaut to set foot on the red planet should be an african-american-trans-albino-jewish-fat-short-gay-muslim-orphan-native-american-hispanic-effeminate-beta-well-read-blind-deaf-mute-wiccan-quadruple-amputee woman (Preferably a low-income developmentally-disabled olympian dolphin). This group has been historically underrepresented in the STEM fields due to rich white men and their evil networked penises.

I see the mission team being divided into 10 sub-teams (listed in order of importance):

1. Social Media Team Coordination Team
2. Twitter Control
3. Facebook Control
4. General Sponsorships Team
5. Alcoholic Beverage Sponsorships Team
6. Autotune Team
7. Licensed Mission Merchandising Team
8. Grindr Control
9. Wal-Mart Price Rollback Control
10. Egghead Nerd Team (In charge of building the spaceship and safety and things like that)

And then an alien eats it, finds out the delicacy monkey came from Earth, and we get invaded.
