Mars

[JJDOBBER79 (Jas)]

Hi all,
I just heard on the radio that the dutch (i think) are planning a new reality TV show which will be aired in 10 years. Its basically big brother on mars.
Yep....that wasnt a typo. They are sending a group of people to go live on mars. They clearly havent seen the weather forecast lately. I dont think theyve thought this through.

The project website is
https://www.mars-one.com/

There is a fairly good write up in wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_One

There is no lack of skepticism on the chance of success of Mars One.
Also it has already forced resources away from existing projects.
