One-Way Ticket: Mars One Project Applicants Top 100,000
Bas Lansdorp's projected trip to Mars has a well-known catch: the ticket to space is free (rather than the millions of dollars for the more conventional kind of space travel available to civilians), but it's one-way only. That's a downside for any potential astronauts who'd like to do things like visit the beach or ever see their Earthside family again in person. Still, the Mars One project announced this week that more than 100,000 volunteers have announced their willingness to forsake this planet in favor of the next. The application process is ongoing; have you signed up?
All 100,000 get honorary darwin awards.

Why? Virtually no crime, pretty much nonexistent unemployment, lots of free space, no environmental issues, no civil unrest or wars anywhere on the horizon... it's THE place to be!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
In fact it's cold as hell.
No, but I signed my mother-in-law up.
