“Mars One, the private venture with the audacious goal of sending humans to Mars—permanently—as early as 2023 made a splash earlier this week when it announced that more than 78,000 people had applied for its ‘astronaut selection program’ just two weeks after starting to accept applications. Lansdorp is very pleased with the public response to the campagn, the first step in a long process to select the first four-person crew that Mars One plans to launch in 2022.”
