Want to spend the rest of your life on Mars? You can apply to do so now.
Mars One, a non-profit organization that plans to send humans on a one-way trip to establish a permanent settlement on Mars in 2023, began accepting online applications Monday.
"We are very excited about launching the selection program," said Bas Landorp, co-founder and CEO of the Netherlands-based group, in a statement announcing the start of the selection process. "This is an international mission and it is very important for the project that anyone anywhere can ask themselves: Do I want this? Am I ready for this? If the answer is yes then we want to hear from you."
Mars isn't for you? Read about other space tourism options
The program is looking for applicants 18 and older "who are both mature and interesting," but there is no requirement for any particular academic or professional background, as astronauts will spend seven years learning all the skills they need, said a Mars One news release.

Post by: skorpx1 on April 23, 2013, 07:10:45 PM: I can see this going one of two ways.

1: Its some sick experiment.
2: Its actually legitimate and people will build a colony on Mars and live on it and be happy.

My guess is #1.

Oh and stay away from venusville

It wouldn't be that bad, more like around 20 minutes, give or take a few seconds.

Scientific experiments need to be concluded within the lifetime of those doing the experiment. It's one of those fundamental laws.

Post by: thedoom26 on April 28, 2013, 05:41:10 AM: I feel sorry for the First people going to mars, Because...of Distance they would have to be in a spaceship, or whatever, For like 6-8 Months,..So before the mission they have to Calcuate were to go, Because of the Orbits around the sun, So Basic Idea is, Predict were the planet will be, in 6 months, and Launch in that Direction......What would happen if they diddlyed up, they would miss Mars and die slowly after supplies run out,... But another Problem Getting their, Landing on a hard surface planet, Safely will be hard...And what if a Meteor Hits you, while your going their, your done...dead....Its Suicide, Its like Joining the Japanese Suicide Units, in ww2 to prove something to your country, or to do something for your country..This mars thing, IS for human kind, But its Basicly Suicide, because your never coming back......and plus, it would suck. HOW WOULD I PLAY AH2 :O
