Mars One is the first ever project built to make humans colonize on Mars. It enjoys a large support and appreciation from the scientific community. Now the organizers are looking for sponsors as well as big companies for merger in this mega project. Mars One has already planned the first flight of humans to Mars in 2023 and they are in search of people willing to go and live on Mars.
I wonder if this would be the biggest project of the century and rather a revolution for mankind. Mars One would be needing vessels and huge ships which can contain every required item for the astronauts which in turn would require large amount of resources. To achieve it all, in this little time span, they really are ambitious. They need to work with all the zeal to make this happen. The road map seems quite easy, at least according to what say.
In 2013 —The astronaut selection would begin and they will train 40 people from all over the world to live in a replica of Martian settlement.
In 2014 — The preparation of sending a communication satellite and the first batch of supplies will begin.
In 2016 — 25000 Kg of food along with a satellite will be sent to Mars.
In 2018 — A rover will land on the surface of Mars and it will search for the best location for settlement. Moreover, it will be providing live coverage to people on Earth to witness it all.
In 2021 — All the necessary supplies will land on Mars along with one extra rover.
In 2022 — The machinery needed for water, oxygen and creating the Earth-like atmosphere will be sent. After that, on September 14, the first managed flight containing 4 people will leave Earth.
In 2023 — The first people will land on Mars and they will start working on a settlement. After two years, the next batch of people will arrive, bringing new modules, rover and other equipment.
This will surely be amazing to watch. Even the first Ambassador of Mars has been declared with the plans. If you are tired of this planet, this might be your chance.

If this is true, I would like to be considered for flying over there as one of their first, second or third bunch.
Thats cool id like to go live on mars where can I sign up to be a part of this?
They’re pipe dreaming.
The official website for this project says that they estimate the cost at $6 billion. Compare that to the cost of the Curiosity rover, which was $2.5 billion. How do they expect to get four PEOPLE to Mars at barely twice that cost? It simply cannot be done; the cost of launching the hardware alone would far exceed their entire budget. The Curiosity rover was about the size and weight of a minivan, a vehicle which can only just barely take four people across the United States. To get four people to Mars, they’ll need something at least as big as the Orion spacecraft, which is more comparable to the size of a boxcar. And that doesn’t take into account things like food, fuel, radiation shielding, and redundant backup systems.
Here’s a quote from the website: “Mars One is now looking for a round of funding to pay our potential suppliers to perform conceptual design studies, which will result in more accurate calculations of the cost of each component and its mass.” In other words, they actually have no clue how much it’s going to cost, and they have so little of their own money that they have to go begging just to figure it out.
Someday, people will go to Mars. But these guys won’t be doing it. What they’re doing is soliciting donations from people who want to Be Part of the Dream so much that they ignore the practicalities. They’ll make a little money from the poor saps who send them donations, then quietly disappear and say it was due to “lack of interest”. In reality, they couldn’t care less whether anyone actually goes to Mars.
im 54 years ever cents buck rodgers, and other sifi, movies that had something to do with big red,plant, that there be someone that will try to make it happen.
drems are maid,people will say it cant be done, we went to the moon,we done it we, did it, thay said man cant fly, we did it,star treck,is a posabilty, and can be done,there is no shuch word,that it cant be done,because there will be some one out there that will prove them rong, if u can take a old pair like me to mars, a one way trip, it would be a heck of a retirment,to me life was ment to explore, the unknow. and to boldly go wher no man has gone before,i just hope that befor i die, i live long enuf to see man on mars.
