100 people agree to go live in Mars ...and never return to earth

Some of these Oyibo people are weird sha. 100 of them have agreed to go a one-way mission to Mars - and never return to earth. These 100 people were picked from 200,000 people all over the world who applied for the Mars One mission. They've agreed to die there. Read the bizarre story below...
100 brave souls from around the globe are now vying for a one-way ticket to Mars, knowing they will never return from the Red Planet. The Dutch-based Mars One project - which aims to send people to live on the faraway planet - has whittled down its shortlist of candidates from more than 200k to just 50 men& 50 women, a 3rd of them Americans
Among the array of science fanatics, Trekies, physics majors, engineers and doctors, there were also a few more surprising choices, including a singer who was doing a two-man show in New York at the time of his application for the program; an artist with a fascinating family connection to NASA; a mechanic from a remote part of Utah, and an aspiring novelist.
Andrew Tunks (left), 28, works in health care technology and in his free time is writing a novel. His goal in life is to reduce suffering in the world; Carmen Paul (right), 32, serves in the National Guard and is an avid techie.

From this shortlist, a final crew of four will eventually be sent to Mars, scheduled to arrive in 2025 following a grueling seven-month journey from Earth.
Among the 100 prospective Mars colonists, which hail from 40 countries, there are 33 US residents ranging in age from 19 to 60.

The American hopefuls come from all walks of life, including PhD students, engineers, artists, medical doctors, and even  a singer and a workout trainer. 
Out of the 33 men and women vying for the honors of traveling to Mars, half a dozen are over the age of 50, including a married father of five.

Kay Radzik Warren, a 54-year-old architectural project manager, wants to be a part of a settlement on Mars
Data analyst Yari Rodriguez, 27, said that going to Mars on a one-way ticket is like donating her body to science  
Ryan Macdonald (left) a physics student at Oxford University said: 'The most important thing to do in life is to leave a legacy. A lot of people do that by having a child...for me this would be my legacy.' Claire Weedon (right) is the only Briton who doesn’t work in science and is a self-confessed adrenaline junkie

  133. I don't know where to start. Some people are not qualified to comment on certain issues. This is sad commentary on our educational institutions. First someone said he or she heard that "Mars is inhabited by evil spirits" (...!) Then someone else said they are "not even sure if Mars exists" (...??) Another said they "don't even know if the air there is breathable" (...$&@/). Don't people read anymore? You don't know? Of course the air is not breathable!! Relatively smaller planet Mars doesn't have sufficient mass (and therefore, gravity) to hold onto an atmosphere, not to mention the lack of surface moisture, plant life and photosynthesis that would be responsible for putting sufficient oxygen into the atmosphere. In the absence of all these, the astronauts will have to make their own breathable air. That's only one of the reasons why such a trip is challenging, not to mention the vast vast distance from Earth. But these pioneers do these (crazy) things to beat back ignorance, and just so that opeople will stop openly saying stunningly daft things like "the place is full of evil spirits". Or that "the planet doesn't even exist". Unacceptable in 2015. Remember that it's the same ignorance and laziness that breeds the Boko Harams of this world. Why not just read more? Afterall you have the whole internet at your disposal. Evil spirits indeed. On planet Mars. Maybe you watched the movie "Transformers" and it affected you.

    ReplyDelete
  134. I'm stunned...I'm in total disbelief...I think something is wrong with the black man's mind. That's why we have been unable to discover anything. This people are on the verge of another amazing scientific discovery and they are ready to give their lives for it. The comments here show how ignorance has crippled us as a people.

  140. The funny thing is that you find it weird (which is the curse of the black race). These people are always opening the world to new opportunities and possibilities, while a black man sits on his entitled ass and expects privileges. When they establish life and make the place habitable, then black people would want to be involved, then cry racism when they're discriminated against!
