Dutch reality show seeks one-way astronauts for Mars
" Are you crazy enough to sign up for a
one-way trip to Mars? Applications are now being accepted by the makers of a Dutch reality show that says it will deliver the first humans to the Red Planet in 10 years. The main requirements are strong health, good people and survival skills, being 18 or older, and having a reasonable grasp of the English language. The non-profit company, called "Mars One," aims to land its first four astronauts in 2023 for a televised reality show that would follow the exploits of the first humans to attempt to establish a colony on Mars."

Dutch reality show seeks one-way astronauts for Mars

At most, a few people may experience time in a zero-g training aircraft, or, as part of another publicity stunt, get a ride aboard Virgin's space tourism offering. The first hardware is supposed to land on Mars in 2016. I'm sure they can meet that deadline -- Chris Mack "If we show any weakness, the monsters will get cocky!"

Oh, and non-profit companies can still provide healthy incomes for their senior executives, being those who established the company, so "non-profit" is rather misleading. Sylvia. You have such little faith. We can do one-way missions as is, although arriving at the reddish surface of Mars still alive and kicking, might not be so likely. |
