More than a thousand people have been pre-selected to participate in a potential group first colonists of Mars in 2025, Has on Thursday from the company in March One originally the project. While more than 200,000 people from 140 countries had registered to be part of this first wave of colonization, 1,058 were selected for the second phase of selection, the Dutch company said in a statement. “The challenge with 200,000 registered is to separate those that we expect to be able, mentally and physically, to become human ambassadors on Mars, those who take the task less seriously,” assured Bas Lansdorp, co-founder and CEO One March, said in the statement.
The project Mars-One, who wants to finance the way to the red planet by television in particular, made many skeptical despite the support of the Dutch Gerard ‘t Hoofd, Nobel Prize in Physics 1999. The company will select, in several phases, 24 potential settlers divided into six groups of four. Those selected will have to pass several rounds of physical, medical and mental tests, and participate in “simulations, especially in groups, with a particular interest in their physical and emotional capabilities,” added March One.
The company announced in December it had signed a $ 250,000 contract with Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Space Group U.S. defense division to study the “concept” of a landing craft. This machine should first be sent empty on the red planet in 2018. So far there have been only robotic missions to Mars, all successfully carried out by NASA. The United States are nevertheless determined to send astronauts on this planet within a couple of years. Besides the difficulty of finding the $ 6 billion needed, according to estimates, the project of Mars One, relying on private funding, faces many obstacles. In addition to the inability to return to Earth for astronauts, they will have to live in small habitats, find water, oxygen and produce them grow their own food. But Mars is a large desert whose atmosphere consists mainly of carbon dioxide and the average temperature is -63 degrees Celsius.
