Bas Lansdorp wants to colonize Mars and he’s looking for volunteers to ripcord out of their lives on Earth and go. He is building his company, Mars One, that will send the first 4 people to Mars in 14 years to build a new society but it’s a one-way ticket.
The biggest challenge of the Mars One mission will be psychological.
If you want to go to Mars, no problem you’re just never coming back. You’re going to live there for the rest of your life.
