REAL LIFE NEWS: LOTS OF PEOPLE WANT TO GO TO MARS
by Hazed
Remember the planned Mars One mission which will send a crew on a one-way trip to Mars? It appears there are a whole lot of people who want to leave the Earth for good, because the project has received more than 100,000 applications from wannabe one-way astronauts.
The video applications are all on the Mars One website so you can go take a look, and express your approval of the ones you like the look of.
Undoubtedly some (perhaps most) of those who have uploaded videos are not really serious, so weeding them down to the people who really do want to go on a one-way trip to another planet and are not crazy is not going to be easy. Meanwhile if you want to apply yourself, there’s still time.
