20 humans to be granted one-way ticket to Mars

2^min

Only a certain type of person can apply for a one-way ticket to the red planet, Mars.

Endemol, the production company behind Big Brother, said it will document the progress of a group of hopefuls who will vie for a 2025 ticket to Mars.

A reality series will follow the selection process of the privately-funded Mars One mission, which aims to launch 20 human beings on the red planet within the next decade.

At least 200,000 people signed up, during the first selection round, to become part of the first human colony on Mars.

In this regard, the Mars One project plans to send a supply mission to land on Mars in October 2016. Then, a ‘settlement rover’ will land in 2018.

The landing systems will undergo eight tests before using them to transport humans - a move Mars One said will make the trips ‘much safer than moon missions’.

The group also said it seeks to have a human settlement on the red planet within a decade.

The chosen Mars settlers will be required to dedicate eight years of their lives to prepare for the 300 million-mile pioneering mission.

It will be a one-way ticket and Mars One plans to send additional crews each two years to expand the humans’ colony on the planet.
