Mars One

I'd heard of thie idea of sending a couple on a long duration flight to Mars, but I'd not heard about this idea of landing on a one way trip

Much as I love the idea of sending a manned misson to Mars, the idea of going knowing you will die there seems a little crazy to me.

I wonder if it's possibly to nominate Piers Morgan for the trip?

Agreed, seeing as reality TV shows tend to pick thier participants specifically to get personality clashes you'd hope this lot do something diffferent. I can maybe understand a NASA astronaut who already knows a lot about what it would be like saying they'd do a one way trip, but you've got to wonder about the mentality of some of the people who'd sign up knowing nothing about it.

Pfft, in the UK maybe, but who regulates the industry on Mars?

Don't forget the telephone sanitisers, marketing executives and management consultants...
