Nagpur to Mars

When ISRO plans its first human mission to Mars, they ought to pick a Nagpurkar. Here's why:
1. Nagpur folks are used to living in hot and arid weather. 47 degrees in the shade? No problem.
2. They can live happily on the diet of tarri poha for years. Less storage needed for food.
3. Most Nagpuri folks live outside Nagpur, so they are quite used to living away from their families for extended periods of time.
4. Nagpur doesn't have an IPL team or a Kabaddi team or even a kho-kho team. So, no distractions from work.
5. Nagpurkars are excellent at infrastructure development, especially transport modes. ?? This would be crucial skill for first settlers.
6. And, Mars night be pretty cool at -55 degrees, unlike Nagpur which barely goes below 30 degrees. So chances are, the astronaut would actually prefer staying on Mars without any complaints.
