  Zero chance. Since the only people in the
  whole universe to date that believe that Hawking
  radiation comes from anywhere other than the Internet
  are Hawking and his lab astrologers in Australia,
  Los Angelos, and New York.

  That's quite obvious, since gravity is not
  the dominant force in a spin hole either.

  Since Brookhaven has been redesiginated
  as a US National Laboratory as:

  The Intergalatic Galileo Wannabee Laboratory.

  And so hence, does not permit travel to Mars.
