"The man behind the private space project dubbed Mars One is looking for people to travel to Mars, but he's not offering a return ticket.

"The technology to get humans to Mars and keep them alive there exists," Bas Lansdorp told Day 6 host Brent Bambury in an interview that aired this week on CBC Radio.

"The technology to bring humans from Mars back to Earth simply does not exist yet."

Lansdorp said he's looking for people who are utterly dependable, good in groups and "at their best when things are at their worst."

The never-to-return explorers will require eight years of training, and the search starts this year.

The flight is scheduled to leave in Sept. 2022."



According to the video in the link posted above, they are funding the trip by making this into a reality tv show documenting their lives. Apparently, they already have thousands of people who who are willing and have signed up to be a possible candidate. They will have to train for 8 years and understand that there's no coming back to Earth once there. I'm not sure I'd be okay with that. I like Earth just fine thank you!

Anyone here willing to sign up to die on Mars?

Me. *raising a hand*. Wheres the paper to be signed? Are there schools there? Hehe.

Great, a Martian trailer park.

need to do some serious Terraforming first!

Seriously, those who will go there already give their life away. Whats the use of training if they do not know if theyll make it there or if they ever survive in a couple of days, weeks. Theyll be lucky if it will take them months or years to go on with their life. ..bring it on! The fourth edition of hunger games (the reality series).

I imagine when people first came to America there was no guarantee they would not be able to return back to Europe at first. Once a colony is established on Mars and able to start mining resources form Mars, they then will be able to support people traveling to and fro from Mars.

If I was to go, I want people that know how to work in harsh environment as well as ones that know how to grow plants in what would be a green house pod.

Remember also that america is part of the earth. We are talking different planet here, wherein the environment is different.

me and winlei are going... any other hot women wanna make history with us?

Mans contribution to the universe.

Eight years training???? For what exactly? What could they possibly train 8 years for that they should...would need to know after an intensified training period of 3 years, for instance? Just starting with the hows to do the very basics under the Martian gravity and operate any types of machines to put together pre-fabricated modules for living and basic survivability and handle the types of aerial craft,(pre designed, built and tested) to operate in the Martian atmosphere would certainly be covered within those 3 years, I would think.
How to deal with those 'aliens' already there would certainly be a major concern, if they make use of the classified and unclassified materials on the results of Govt. and private agency files of the techniques known as 'remote viewing would be invaluable. Many of those tasked with remote viewing on different locations on Mars have all found very ancient structures and are currently being used by 'humanoid' beings, After their secret govt. remote viewing, many of those same people went to various civilian agencies now engaged as private defense contractors for the Pentagon and NSA, CIA, etc. when the CIA allegedly terminated those programs. Many viewers went to PSI Corp. Perhaps they are part of this project?? Many think that to totally hide the remote viewing on Mars and other facets dealing with alien humanoids, the programs were not terminated but went totally black by being hidden in the private sector. Detailed descriptions of their bases, facilities including underground installations on Mars have been 'available for years' but never publically discussed. I found it very interesting to compare modern descriptions of these remotely viewed bases, monuments, etc. to ancient Sumerian/Babylonian records of their ancient descriptions to be very similar to many of the targeted views...I'd love to really access those hidden secret files....and if younger, I'd go to Mars in a minute!

Welcome home.
