It helps to know that we can do pretty much everything you can do indoors on Earth. We will have internet and we will be able to request anything to be shipped from Earth on every next flight or supply missions as they come by. So it really depends on you in a way.

Personally I’d rather do anything from software…Read more

Wether it’s a tiny organism, while its still part of our agenda to thoroughly scan for any signs of life, in-fact one of every group of 4 will specialise in ‘exobiology’, the biology of alien life!

But in case some actual…Read more

Here’s what I know:

-As a selected applicant, you can change your mind anytime, up till probably the last year of training.
-For the whole training phase, we are trained as groups, not individuals, so any one person of the teams of 4 decides to quit,…Read more

Great question! Thank you for the kind intro, Yes your research is spot on and the amount of skeptics is quite large.

This might be a bit long so bear with me, I’m basing my trust in them for a few reasons:

-That’s their part of the deal, to make this work out as smoothly as humanly possible, because the first mission as early as…Read more

Simulate yes, create a space for long term experiments no, as far as I’m aware.

I think it should be fine, because 38% gravity is better than no-gravity. It’s growing on Martian soil that needs…Read more

Thank you for your interest and support so far, I would like to point out to the fund-raising campaign for the 2018 mission which will demonstrate many parts of the missions feasibility. Me, along with everyone who wants to see it happen would appreciate the support here, not to mention there are some really cool perks to go along…Read more

He-he I thought about the Truman Show movie as well.

Not only raise, but rather a large portion of the funding will be from the reality show, well more like reality without the show part, and it’s also how to keep the mission constantly funded down the line as new rounds of selections will commence.

It’s true that there are no…Read more

The food situation as currently planned, in the 8 months orbit to Mars from Earth, we will be surviving on freeze dried and canned food, and once we land there, we will still have a supply of the Earth supplied food in stock and start growing our own food in hydrophobic plant production units for the long-term.
