    2023 Mars One colonization! anyone apply for a one way ticket?

    I came across this the other week and it seems pretty legit and they have already 200,000 applicants and every 2 years the application process is opened again, has anyone applied for this? seems pretty far out. Do you think it will happen 10 years from now?

    I doubt most of them have actually thought about what they might need to endure, and have applied since it seems "cool" or something along those lines.

    One way tickets to an uninhabited rock with no chance of return.... interesting.

    I was reading this morning of the problems of prison overcrowding and criminals walking free with community sentences because of shortage of spaces in jail.

    I want to say "Hell yeah!!" but then any serious thought in to it makes me reconsider

    At least you could genuinely blame lag when you get your ass handed to you on online multiplayer.

    On a more serious note. Mars will never be colonisable. At the very best we might have a manned research outpost. But the planet will never be habitable. It's a solid lump of rock without any geomagnetic protection, and the atmosphere is a thin haze of CO2.

    Re: 2023 Mars One colonization! anyone apply for a one way ticket?

    This is got to be the most stupid idea ever. It will not happen!


    Most of us cry when we twist our ankles, I really doubt we would survive the environment or any sort of atmospheric conditions on Mars to even establish a living condition. The most we could achieve is happier camels up there on the dusty land.

    What's so bad with Earth, I mean, it'll be cheaper to build a giant island in the Pacific than to attempt a Mission to Mars

    I don't know why people would want to live there. Even if a base was somehow set up it couldn't be self sustaining it would need constant supplies shipped from Earth meaning the cost of living there would be so high that no one could afford it. Its average temperature (−63 °C) is colder than winter in the south pole!

    Most definitely one the applicants is 76(not being ageist) but they say the first mission will be around 2022? seriously he will be 84 he would fall apart on any g force test???

    I agree though i think some people applied on impulse not really considering that they will never come back, or quite possibly never get there

    I reckon he's probably taking the line - well I'm on my way out anyway, why not do/see something cool before I go. And heck if the g's take their toll he'll be in microgravity after, and it won't be a problem then!

    Instead of volunteers, we should send over unwanted criminals. In a couple hundred years it will be the most desirable place to live... a bit like Australia

    Assuming having 1,000 tonnes of rocket slammed into his back doesn't kill him. Otherwise, humanity will have broken a new historical record, first time ever launching a complete fresh corpse into orbit.
