I wish they would be people who would set aside those identities and pick up a new one and work together to give it definition. Imagine the opportunity for rebirth of the human spirit! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 39493940  Germany05/08/2013 12:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Huge numbers of people on Earth are keen to leave the planet forever and seek a new life homesteading on Mars. Quoting: christian About 78,000 people have applied to become Red Planet colonists with the nonprofit organization Mars One since its application process opened on April 22, officials announced Tuesday. Mars One aims to land four people on the Red Planet in 2023 as the vanguard of a permanent colony, with more astronauts arriving every two years thereafter. "With 78,000 applications in two weeks, this is turning out to be the most desired job in history," Mars One Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Bas Lansdorp said in a statement. "These numbers put us right on track for our goal of half a million applicants." [Mars One's Red Planet Colony Project (Gallery)] [link to science.nbcnews.com] This is just a test if the people are ready to leave earth. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 26795689 United States05/08/2013 12:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ugh I just read from the article: When the application process closes, reviewers will pick 50 to 100 candidates from each of the 300 regions around the world that Mars One has identified. By 2015, this pool will be whittled down to a total of 28 to 40 candidates, officials said. This core group will be split into groups of four, which will train for their one-way Mars mission for about seven years. Finally, an audience vote will pick one of these groups to be humanity's first visitors to the Red Planet. What is this a reality-show gimmick? An 'audience' is going to vote on which group among the 28-40 individuals gets to go despite them having trained for 7 YEARS??? What a freaking rip off to be training for something for 7 years only to have an 'audience' decide that you don't get to go and follow through with it..... |

Quoting: High Perception  I doubt it would be a "survivor" or "american idol" type show where they would kick you off the ship if you were voted off, LOL. It would obviously be the most documented thing ever. There would be production crews filming everything about the entire mission. The whole world would be glued to their TV's and computers watching every second. I'm finally going to stop drinking for good... I'll now only drink for evil.
