    There will be life on Mars!

    Over 200,000 people have applied to live on Mars as part of an ambitious proposal by private foundation Mars One to establish a human settlement on the Red Planet by 2023.


    Amongst the 200,000+ applicants are four who, according to the Mars One mission roadmap, would leave Earth forever in 2022 and arrive on Mars in 2023.

    There are no plans for any of the settlers to return to Earth and the chosen few must come to terms with leaving Earth behind for the rest of their lives.

    The application process opened on 22 April this year. 202,586 applications from 140 countries were received through the online process. The largest numbers were from the United States (24 percent), India (10 percent), China (6 percent), Brazil (5 percent), Great Britain (4 percent), Canada (4 percent), Russia (4 percent), Mexico (4 percent), Philippines (2 percent), Spain (2 percent), Colombia (2 percent), Argentina (2 percent), Australia (1 percent), France (1 percent), Turkey (1 percent), Chile (1 percent), Ukraine (1 percent), Peru (1 percent), Germany (1 percent), Italy (1 percent) and Poland (1 percent).

    Over the next two years the applicants will be whittled down to a small number of teams (six to ten) each consisting of four people.

    A TV programme, with public voting, is central to the selection process and, more importantly, to raise the money to fund the vision.

    The final teams will all undergo seven years of training for their emigration to Mars, with a global TV show's public voting deciding the first team to leave for the Red Planet.

    Screening the 200,000+ applications is going to take some time, though Mars One expects to have completed the screening by the end of this year. This will require the organisation to screen nearly 3,000 applicants a day between September and December.

    Candidates through to round three would be interviewed by the Mars One selection committee. Round three also envisages public voting through television. After interviews, twenty to forty applicants from each region would appear in a TV show with a winner being chosen from each region. Additional participants would be selected by the Mars One panel to go through with the audience selections to the final round.

    Those through to round four will need to be conversational in English, with the final selection process being billed as a global TV show. The global TV audience would select the final six to ten teams of four who would become full time employees of the Mars One astronaut corps. The organisation cautions that some individuals or teams could be de-selected during the seven years of training.

    A global TV show would decide which of the final teams would be the first Mars One crew.

    Why?

    Gaia, even with as much as us silly humans have trashed her, is *totally amazing*!!!

    If you want to live underground you can do that here as well ...

    Grass is always greener on the other side of the solar system I guess???

    I was looking over Google Mars to the right of Lonar crater when I found hundreds, maybe thousands of structures that are evenly spaced apart and metallic gold in appearance. When you measure the structures with Google Ruler, they are between 92-127 meters across their top. This is really unusual. The colors the metal of the structures give off is amazingly beautiful. If you want to find it you need to look between Gemini Scopuli crater and Lonar crater.

    I suspect they (not sure who are they) are just creating a new colony of slaves because the earth is getting rid of them (whoever they are who wanted to enslave humanity). They cant harvest here on Gaia anymore so need to move on.

    Will anyone from TOT be applying I wonder . . . ? The recent thread from Skywizard was extremely heartening I thought

    (here : http://jandeane81.com/threads/1001-I...aform-a-Planet) and made all things seem possible and attainable, even in our lifetime.

    PS: That reminds me . . . . I'm just popping off back to Project Camelot to read that interview again with Alfred Nuuman,/Henry Deacon the man who talked about "jump rooms to Mars" remember? I wonder what happened to him.

    Here is an interesting video with him from you tube which took place before the 2009 Expolitics conference:

    Like any enviroment it depends whether you are set up right for it, getting the equipment there by traditional means is going to be expensive & difficult.

    Thanks Spiral

    Just had a look at these on Google and if you pan down towards the dark wedge and slightly alter the North/South button - it looks like some of these are venting smoke or gasses of some kind. Thanks for posting mate. JP

    Hi John, I had to look them up too, I was astounded that they are actually there, and had not been "removed" via doctoring the images.

    Maybe they think it will get more coverage if they "airbrush" them out now that people have downloaded images, & so leave them for a few UFO nuts ?

    There is of course the possibility that someone wants us to find stuff!
