Mars One: Would You Go On a One-way Trip to Mars?
If you had the opportunity to be the first human to set foot on Mars (and to get a guaranteed spot in every history book EVER), would you do it? What if you had to walk away from your entire life — everyone and everything you love — forever, in order to make that happen?
100 people (50 women and 50 men) have signed up to do just that. They’re finalists for the Mars One expedition, a one-way journey (!) to Mars that plans to send civilian-astronauts to the red planet to live out the rest of their days.
The 100, announced Tuesday the 17th of February 2015, were picked out of the 200,000-plus people who applied. In the end, only two dozen will be trained for the mission, which will occur via six trips of four people each.
Mars One is hoping to launch the first one in just nine years. (Oddly enough, the initial 2024 mission will be partially funded by a reality show about it all.)
It sounds incredible, but is it really going to happen? Only Time would tell.
