    US private sector hopes to send older couple to Mars

    "A team led by millionaire and former space tourist Dennis Tito plans to send a "tested couple" to Mars and back in a privately funded mission.

    The Inspiration Mars Foundation plans to start its one-and-a-half-year mission in January 2018.

    The foundation has carried out a study which it says shows that it is feasible to achieve such a mission using existing technology.

    The group still has to raise funding for their mission."

    I would go if I had the chance. Imagine being able to say you were the first person to go to Mars.

          They won't land on Mars, but rather go there and come back.

          Spend you some brain.
