So a private company is in the process of finalizing their candidates for a one way trip to Mars. No I'm not kidding. Click here to see Mars One. They are selling broadcast rights, sponsorhips and crowdfunding to get it done. They'll start sending humans, four at a time, to Mars starting in 2024.
Apart from the 6-8 month trip in an SUV sized module, landing on a planet that you have to wear a space suit to go outside, and hoping that the water and air generating systems don't fail...it's exciting to be one of the first humans to land on Mars...if you make it there.
Would you go?
