Mars One , the private project of the Dutch entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp
which seeks to bring four people to Mars by 2023 and more than 100,000
volunteers although there are no plans to bring them back to Earth.
So far, all the candidates are about 30,000 Americans, 5,000 of Brazil , there are also 3.Colombia 000 and 5,000 Mexicans.
The project idea is to film the entire process and pass through a live television program , that is, a reality show that will last years and whose final destination is assumed by volunteers.
Mars One, choose a group of forty volunteers this year , including the four will be selected to travel to Mars in 2022 , reaching the red planet for April 2023. Subsequently, four other volunteers traveling to arrive in 2025.
The project wants to colonize the red planet since 2022. But there are financial and practical issues about this company not been clarified. Will there be enough money? Do people really be able to survive on Mars?
The application process
Anyone over 18 can apply to volunteer to go to Mars, but the rate depends on the nationality of a user. For Americans, is $ 38, but for Mexicans is just $ 15.
The company said it fixed based on the gross domestic product per capita of each country's price. "We wanted it to be high enough so that people have to really think about it and low enough for anyone to be able to afford ," said Bas Lansdorp , Mars One CEO and co -founder .
The first crew with only one-way mission to Mars will cost 6 billion away, Lansdorp said. The idea is to be funded by sponsors and media who will pay for the broadcast rights of programs and films to document everything from the training of astronauts to Earth for deployment and colonization of Mars.
Of the applicants , said Mars One will select a group of 40 astronauts multicontinental this year. Four of them , two men and two women.
The astronauts will undergo training required eight years in a secluded location . According to the project site , they will learn how to repair habitat structures , growing vegetables in small spaces and address " routine and serious medical issues , such as conservation dental , muscle tears and bone fractures ."
" What we want to do is tell the story to the world ," Lansdorp said, "when humans go to Mars, when they are set on Mars and build a new earth , a new planet. This is one of the most exciting things that ever happened , and want to share the story with the world. "
How will be colonized Mars?
Each lander sent to Mars One can carry about 5511 pounds of "payload" Mars said . After eight missions , it is expected that more than 44,000 pounds of supplies and people have arrived. The same capsules, whose weight is not included in that figure, will form part of the habitat.
Food and solar panels will go into the capsules . The Earth will not send more water or oxygen, though - the will be manufactured on Mars, Lansdorp said.
