Specially shielded sperm capsules, just fill before launch. Other countries might go to Mars. Perfect way to control greedy usa; abandon ship. So practice babelfish english to sneak on board - but it sounds like all of you already have that under control. One of my programs (forget which) actually offered Klingon as a language option. PS - post came from experiences in part - sometimes the survival is bullshit, and more like medical concentration camp living. And of course, if you can bankrupt the desperate and misled offspring who cares. Solution for sperm. Specially shielded sperm capsules, just fill before launch.

Sterility or (worse) severe defects to offspring probably means that prospective astronauts need to fully understand that if they go to Mars, their child-bearing years are over. Alas however, as byronius points out, it's likely a moot point for the near future. Hell, it's gonna be like pulling teeth just to get our asses back to the Moon! 8-+ On Mars: long-term exposure to radiation (mostly of Solar origin) is a definite problem.
