The Mars One project has narrowed down its list of applicants to 100 people, all competing for a one way ticket to Mars in 2024. The lucky one hundred will have to go through further training and a reality TV show before the final team is whittled down to four by the general public.
“Because this mission is humankind’s mission, Mars One has the intention to make this a democratic decision. The whole world will have a vote which group of four will be the first humans on Mars,” the Mars One site says.
