Mars One had begun accepting application for anyone who would be willing to take a one-way trip to Mars in 2023 to establish the first human settlement on the planet.
[quote]Mars One believes human exploration of the solar system should be a global effort, greater than the ambition of an individual nation. Mars exploration offers an opportunity to celebrate the power of a united humanity.
As with the Apollo Moon landings, a human mission to Mars will inspire generations to believe that all things are possible, that anything can be achieved. Mars One believes it is not only possible, but imperative that we establish a permanent settlement on Mars in order to accelerate our understanding of the formation of the solar system, the origins of life, and of equal importance, our place in the universe.[/quote]

Edited by RECON: 4/29/2013 3:35:35 PMSo we haven't even put a man on Mars yet and all of a sudden we're going to be colonising it in ten years? Pull the other one. Is this some sort of social experiment? There's no way it'll actually happen. Who'd even fund it? EDIT: Oh, so it takes a registration fee of $57 to sign on? That's convenient. I'm pretty sure this is just a scam.
