Over 1000 Volunteers For 'Suicide' Mission To Mars

Posted by Unknown on from the i-want-out dept.

New submitter thAMESresearcher writes with a few updates on Mars One: "The Dutch company Mars One is organizing a one way mission to Mars 2023. In a press release that came out today, they say they have over a thousand applicants already. In the press release they also mention that they are now a not-for-profit Foundation. It sounds ambitious, but they have a Nobel prize winner, an astronaut, and several people from NASA on their board." The actual selection process starts early next year.

  1. If you volunteer, then you are not qualified.... by gweihir · · Score: 0, Troll

    Those who volunteer are clearly stupid or suicidal. Both disqualify them for participation.
