Title: 200,000 people sign up for a ONE WAY ticket to Mars
Post by: 240 is Back on September 11, 2013, 06:12:30 AM
When most people contemplate death and dying, they update their will or get a timeshare in Boca Raton. Others (many more than you might think), however, apply for a one way trip to Mars to live out their days in a still hypothetical Martian colony.

The “Mars One” project, which has been soliciting applications for prospective space pioneers to live on Mars, announced on Monday it had received over 200,000 applications from more than 140 countries. The applicants are still a long way off from Martian living, however, as six-to-ten teams of four people are set to be selected by 2015 to undergo seven years of training. Then, in 2023, “one of these teams will become the first humans ever to land on Mars and live there for the rest of their lives,” reads the "Mars One" website.

The countries that had the applications were: U.S. (24 percent), India (10 percent), China (6 percent), Brazil (5 percent), and the U.K. (4 percent).

If you’d like a taste of who might be representing humanity on Mars, National Geographic has compiled a greatest hits of the video applications.

The initial mission to Mars will cost $6 billion, according to National Geographic, and “the plan is to have private financial backing, including a television reality show to help raise the funds for the maiden voyage in a decade’s time—and subsequent missions slated to follow every two years after that.”

Unsurprisingly, NASA is skeptical of the feasibility of the “Mars One” project and others have questioned the business plan, technical feasibility and potential health risks of the proposed colony, according to the Guardian.  Eight out of ten bodybuilders preferred a trip to Uranus, according to NASA officials.

That is one in 35,000 of the human race, fuckin unbelievable.
So much so that I think they exaggerated that 200,000 figure.

Gravity on Mars is less than half that on Earth so I would be a very strong man there.

i'd have to get a vasectomy and be sent up with a female companion.  

Also, what about medical care, etc?  Do they give you a suicide pill if you get some terminal painful illness, or just morphine?  What if you want to know who wins Big Brother?  They can radio you the results?

You'll be sent up with Kai Greene, no need for a vasectomy. No suicide pill, the AIDS will take care of that. Kai will be the only "big brother" for you.

At least kai's wide lats would protect me from solar flares.   send me up with Jay Cutler, and I'm toast.

There's growing speculation NASA is about to announce it has discovered flowing water on Mars


Source: Business Insider

NASA today made a very brief announcement that it’s preparing to share details of a “major science finding” early next week.

The space agency gave out a list of participants who will speak, and notice of a “brief question-and-answer session”, so there’s not a lot to go on.

But a couple of names on the list have journalists and bloggers speculating that NASA is about announce it has found evidence of water on Mars. Possibly even flowing water.

<snip>

But it was as an undergrad at the University of Arizona where Ohja made a lot of headlines in 2011. At 21, the science fiction fan and Nepal native co-authored a study that suggested liquid water flowed during the warmer months on Mars.
