Wanna go to Mars :-O --------------------------------------------------------------- Mars One is a non-profit organization that plans to establish a permanent human colony on Mars by 2023. The private spaceflight project is led by Dutch entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp, who announced official plans for the Mars One mission in May 2012. [1] In 2022, four carefully selected applicants will then be launched in a Mars-bound spaceflight to become the first residents on Mars. Every step of the crew’s journey will be documented for a reality television program that will broadcast 24/7/365. The organization has mapped out the next several years in order to highlight major plans and goals for the mission. January 2016 will mark the start of the Mars One colonization effort when a supply mission, carrying 2500 kilograms in spare parts, solar panels, and other necessary supplies, will be launched and scheduled to land in October 2016. In 2018, a settlement rover will explore the terrain of Mars in search of the ideal location for humans to reside. In 2021, the rovers will prepare to assemble the landing of six separate units to sustain human life. Two living units, two life support units, another supply unit, and a third rover will all arrive in this year. By 2022 the first Mars One team, consisting of four carefully selected applicants, will be launched where they will become the first expected residents of the Red Planet in 2023. By 2025, a new four-person Mars One crew will be sent for residency. The organization’s goal is to send four-person spaceflights to the Red Planet every 2 years after the successful landing of the initial crew. To apply or know more check out this mars-one/en/
