Mars group looking for people who want to leave Earth and never come back

Want to travel to Mars? You’re in luck: An international Netherlands-based non-profit organization is currently recruiting astronauts to staff its 2023 Mars colony mission.

The company, Mars One, announced on Tuesday its astronaut selection criteria, of which mental resilience and a strong sense of purpose are considered important traits. Mars One’s goal is to establish the first human settlement on Mars in 2023.

In the first half of 2013, Mars One will begin its global search for the best candidates for the mission. Six teams of four will be chosen from the influx of candidates, and each of which will undergo 8 years of training needed to travel to and live on Mars.

All of DU should be all for this. We could save millions on having those leaches gone from here. In fact the volunteers that would build the ship alone to send them away would be enough to make it work. And to make sure they don't have to do anything till they get there we can let the computers run the ship just like this one.

Colonizing Mars will take dedication, commitment, and hard work and I really don't want to have to depend on DUmmies for my survival or to have my back against the martian telepathic jackal.

Yep.  Plus 2023 is easily a couple of decades before anything remotely like that is gonna happen anyway.  If it was anything real and I was young and rootless, I might be interested, but this is a science-junkie moonbat pipedream.
