I'm so perfect for this sort of thing. I've always wanted to go to other worlds, travel the universe like in Star Trek. Funny I was talking to my hubby about how I wanna write my story's ending. This would be the sort of ending that I would write...I go to Mars, maybe with the kids (would DH follow? IDK) and live out the rest of my days there. I even wrote a song about it 3 years ago.

| VarianceX77 User ID: 39500800 United States05/08/2013 04:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you think you have the right stuff to help colonize Mars, you'll soon get your chance to prove it. Quoting: <<TIMEWATCHER>> The Netherlands-based nonprofit Mars One, which hopes to put the first boots on the Red Planet in 2023, released its basic astronaut requirements today (Jan. 8), setting the stage for a televised global selection process that will begin later this year. Mars One isn't zeroing in on scientists or former fighter pilots; anyone who is at least 18 years old can apply to become a Mars colony pioneer. The most important criteria, officials say, are intelligence, good mental and physical health and dedication to the project, as astronauts will undergo eight years of training before launch. "Gone are the days when bravery and the number of hours flying a supersonic jet were the top criteria," Norbert Kraft, Mars One's chief medical director and a former NASA researcher, said in a statement. "Now, we are more concerned with how well each astronaut works and lives with the others, in the long journey from Earth to Mars and for a lifetime of challenges ahead." Mars One plans to launch a series of robotic cargo missions between 2016 and 2021, which will build a habitable Red Planet outpost ahead of the arrival of the first four colonists in 2023. More settlers will arrive every two years after that. There are no plans to return the pioneers to Earth. [Mars One: 'Big Brother' on Mars? (Video)] The organization will fund most of its ambitious activities by staging a global reality-TV event that follows the colonization effort from astronaut selection through the settlers' first years on Mars. Mars One, which transitioned from a private company to a nonprofit late last year, has already received a number of inquiries from prospective colonists, officials said.
