[QUOTE]More than 100,000 people are eager to make themselves at home on another planet. They've applied for a one-way trip to Mars, hoping to be chosen to spend the rest of their lives on uncharted territory, according to an organization planning the manned missions.
You can see some of the candidates on the project's website, but they're not the only ones who have applied, said Bas Lansdorp, Mars One CEO and co-founder.
Anyone 18 or older may apply, but the fee depends on a user's nationality. For Americans, it's $38.
Out of the applicants, Mars One said it will select a multicontinental group of 40 astronauts this year. Four of them -- two men and two women -- are set to leave for Mars in September 2022, landing in April 2023.[/QUOTE]

Title was disappointing. But if I was a millionaire, about to die, I would want to be shot at the moon in a rocket, that shit could be so cash. I'd also take all my money and gold with me

They're planning to set up a small colony for the people to be able to live there.

I don't think you're very isolated if you have 100,000 people to talk with.
[QUOTE=Ghost656;41777265]I don't think you're very isolated if you have 100,000 people to talk with.[/QUOTE]Only 40 are going.

only 40 people will go though
that's a pretty okay number of people to live with. hopefully shit doesn't go down and there's murders.
this is the part where the population of facepunch cringes at the thought of being disconnected from earths internet
unless you like waiting 14 minutes to load a web page not counting bandwidth

This saddened me for some reason.
[QUOTE=DeEz;41777156]in other news: 100,000 people are oblivious to the psychological impact of isolation[/QUOTE]
Actually it'll be 4 people, 4 more added every two years, and after all 40 are in mars after 20 years, the colony will be established and even more people will come around.
I'm expecting shit to go down. There'll probably be a few guys who goes rampant and kills someone.
I've been playing too much space station 13

They are. They are making it a tv documentary series.

and then poo everywhere
I'm not sure how they expect to get the US government's approval of this, something tells me the government wouldn't be that keen on some company sending a bunch of random people on a one way trip to Mars.
What if you get on the ship by accident?
What if you get forced to get on the ship?
What if you staged a coup and became the king of Mars?

It's actually Dutch, so America has no say in this.
[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;41777275]Only 40 are going.[/QUOTE]
And only 4 at a time.
Everyone asking questions, just read the article, it explains everything. They will be growing food, and producing water to sustain themselves.

What if you decided to reenact the red faction series?
I'd go if I get to be sent with 3 hot chicks
that'd be totally rad
Never seeing my beloved house and sleeping on this comfy bed ever again? No thank you.
