Mars One, a Dutch company, has begun its search for volunteers to fly and live on the red planet - but it's a one-way trip.

At a press conference in New York City on Monday, the company's CEO Bas Lansdorp announced an open call for anyone to apply for the flight, knowing that they will never be able to return home. The mission will be one-way only because there currently is no technology that would enable a return trip from Mars to Earth.

Brit, mine is a custom made laser sword....Ravinder Sanjeev Gupta told me so. His third cousin twice removed made it in the District of Tirumvandan etc. in Kerala.

It was then hand carried by his third cousin's second cousin's third brother to Qatar.

There!

dont hijack the thread. they are better than u people who strongly supported Israel settlements so stop blaming others of course we know there are problems with labours..but u cant blame the whole country & local community.. and one funny thing is that you are getting paid from the same people ur talking about.

"in a Google "hangout" - the first of this type of web-based dialogue to be hosted by BBC News - contributors from as far afield as Arizona, Paris and Mumbai shared their thoughts with us in London on a plan for an outpost where people would live - and die - beyond Earth."

Latest research showed that Men are not from Mars, as there is no Beer, Footie or P*** available on Mars..:(

There is no way out as per the article. I think it is better to send people there instead of giving them death penalty in this planet. I mean the first trip.

Btw, If you are willing to go to Mars, don't forget to take Exit Permit from your company. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to exit from Qatar :)
