After only one week, submissions to the Mars One project are flying in, with 600 being from China alone. Dutch entrepreneur and leader of the private spaceflight project, Bas Lansdorp, is willing to fund an all expenses paid trip to Mars – just one catch, you won't be coming back. Even if a trip into space sounds as though it is beyond your abilities, those without the relevant qualifications normally required by NASA will be relieved to hear the requirements for candidates are wide open. If you show resilience, adaptability, and curiosity, you might qualify – while scientific and astronaut's skills, are not required. In a reality-TV twist, the organization plans to have people vote on TV for the candidates they like the best. Lansdorp plans to fund the trip through a "Big Brother" style reality show which would document the training of the astronauts, their eight month journey in space, and their time on the alien planet.

"Apparently, the folks at Mars One are offering only a one-way trip because, well, a one-way trip is cheaper. And perhaps (and I’m only speculating here) they haven’t yet ironed all the bugs out of that little matter of re-entering Earth’s atmosphere in a blood-boiling ball of flame at 26,000 km/h."

I might have considered it if I was certain it would be a worthy thing to do. But they made it into the American Idol of space.
