| Anonymous Coward User ID: 19980561 United States05/08/2013 01:52 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."

Quoting: christian For one, when this will be possible, it will take them 3 years to get there. Also they better prepare to pay a hefty cost for their trip. Space tourists have paid from $20 Million for the very first one up to $50 Million for the latest ones just to fly on a Soyuz to the International Space Station. I wish them good luck getting the money together to finance their travel to Mars. I came. I saw. I Concorde. For once you have tasted Concorde you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
