Want a one-way trip to Mars in 2022? Granted, astronauts go through some of the most exhaustive mental and physical training imaginable to manage that ... hmm, I could totally see a reality show resulting from this.

I don't understand. What don't they get?

If I was still a single man without children, I'd seriously consider signing up.

I wonder how many would sign up if they actually knew the painful shit they're going to have to endure.

If I was still a single man without children, I'd seriously consider signing up.

There isn't enough mineral wealth in the whole of this planet's crust to make me consider it.

I think a lot of married men would consider it too.

I think they'd be more apt to consider it. As the old saying goes, "Statistics say married men die earlier in life than married women. Probably by choice."

Sure, I'd go for that.

Although the latency times would make LOL difficult.

That's because women are so low maintenance.

I'd say more because people who shouldn't be married end up getting married.

Scam.

All finalists were supposedly to undergo several days to a few weeks for the whole interview and testing process. But it turns out that finalists were only interviewed for 10 minutes via Skype call.
...
It was Mars One’s chief medical offer, Norbert Kraft, who conducted the very brief interview that circled around trivial matters. Roche was expecting some extreme psychological or psychometric testing because it is among the vital factors that the ideal candidate should possess in the deadly planet.
...
They were even asked to donate money obtained from guest appearances for the fulfillment of the project. This has been a drawback and unbelievable statement because the project was said to have cost the company ‘billions of dollars’. Why would they need small donations for it?
