200,000 people apply to live on Mars

"(CNN) -- If you have ambitions of being one of the first people on Mars, listen up: A Dutch company says it is moving along with its plan to send four lucky Earthlings to colonize the Red Planet. The catch: They won't ever come back.

The Mars One foundation announced Tuesday that it has secured lead suppliers for an unmanned mission launching in 2018, which involves a robotic lander and a communications satellite. Lockheed Martin has been contracted to study building the lander, and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. will develop a concept study for the satellite, Mars One said.

This first mission will demonstrate technology that would be involved in a permanent human settlement on Mars. If all goes well -- and that's still very much an "if" -- the first pioneers could land on Mars in 2025.

Enthusiasm has been growing since the project's first big announcement in April. More than 200,000 people have signed up to be prospective astronauts, Mars One CEO Bas Lansdorp said in Washington on Tuesday.

Apparently, they're OK with living out the rest of their lives on Mars. The technology for a return flight doesn't exist -- there's no Kennedy Space Center launch pad over there! -- and having a one-way trip greatly reduces costs, the company has said.

The application period is now closed, and by the end of this year, the company plans to notify those special folk who made it to Round 2."

Boney M - One Way Ticket :1orglaugh

I would never do it

It will become more and more popular i think if first mission gets successful.

Considering how things are here on earth I am shocked the number was so small.

i wish harmon and franck the best of luck

Save your breath youll need it later to blow up your date, fucking cunt.

Hopefully they'll be smart enough to pick one male and three females.

You think crazy shit goes on in Vegas, just wait until people are stranded on Mars. It'll be Fuckfest 2025 non-stop until the break of dawn.

that sounds tempting, think after a week or so the fun would wear off, would be giving up too many earthly luxuries for some ass :2 cents:

They've got obamacare beat.

Those people will be immortal. Going is an honour. If they can construct habitat modules and increase the food supply more people would also go. This is a great project.

YES! Nobody ever knows who I'm talking about when I mention Boney M!

Is he big in Europe? When I lived in Greece, shows would occasionally play clips from "Daddy Cool" or "Rasputin".

200000 ? immortal like the deads of WWII with her name written somewhere on a pier... how great...

poor, that our society plan and spend money on shit like that, and not getting soveld our problems here on earth...the rich go to mars and the poor stay on dying mother earth...:321GFY

I am going

I would not want to go lol

- 180º sounds a bit too cold for me.

Can we volunteer other people?

As a side note, I think we probably have the ability to do this, but I think there are going to be a lot of dead people in the process. I still think it would be much smarter to do it on the moon first.

interesting... but not for me..I prefer Earth :1orglaugh

it's the same as it's always been, the only thing that ever changes is our gadgets...

the first 4 i meant.
Sorry you thought i meant the 200,000 people who applied to be the first 4 that went.

we should really start a fan group... I am normally alone when i speak of them myself haha

Sorry i just saw the first picture and i thought it was for 200 000 people

Just send wehateporn and his posse of crazies. To confirm mars is just an illuminati conspiracy of course

mars come on....

Can I pay to have some people sent to Mars? :winkwink:

:stoned

ADG

meee toooo

I was thinking that as well. I would gladly take up a collection to get some of the people out of the U.S.

One way ticket is not a good idea.

There are many crazy/dumb people and there are many suiciders as well, but I think they all do not actually realize what they are signing up for. I can't imagine how cruel death would be this. But sending prisoners (100% confirmed murderers, rapists etc) there might be actually not a bad idea.

I would go. anything for the 3-breasted girl.
I can't post an image :(
