A Mars One Finalist Speaks Out On the "Dangerously Flawed" Project
superboj writes Dr Joseph Roche is one of the finalists to go on Mars One's much-hyped mission to the Red Planet. And yet he says he's never had an in-person interview, had to organize his own physical exam, was only tested on prepared questions, and is being encouraged to give more and more money to the group. That's why he's decided to quit.
He should be used to having very little money and working his ass off for someone else's hunches.
It's already part of EMACS. Scientists just have not yet discovered the sequence of keystrokes to enter that mode.
Don't worry, the next systemd update will integrate the Mars One mission.
Only if you paid in Bitcoin.
Maybe it's like in the movie Contact there's a secret base out there they've managed to build without anybody noticing and they're just saving it up for the surprise reveal!
But probably not.

The whole project is a money-grabbing scam. Nobody's going to Mars. Besides, when the Apollo astronauts first went to the moon aliens were right there, and after a few missions to the moon (by Apollo 17) the aliens finally said enough is enough..No more humans on the moon or anywhere else beyond Earth orbit. So nobody is going to the moon, Mars or anywhere else. Only robots are allowed. And probably any robot that starts drilling into or disturbing the life in the oceans of the Jovian and Saturnian moons will be stopped before it can do any damage.
Duh! What part of "is being encouraged to give more and more money to the group" gives that away?
Wait... Scientologists are going to Mars???

Where can I donate money to that mission?
