Let’s Begin…
There's a lot of talk these days about when and how we might all move to Mars. But what would it actually be like to live there? Mari Foroutan details the features of Mars that are remarkably similar to those of Earth — and those that can only be found on the red planet.
Mars One is a mission with the goal of establishing a permanent human settlement on Mars. The project managers plan to land the first humans on Mars and establish a permanent human colony there by 2027. They cannot come back to Earth. Many people applied to go for this strange mission. The majority of the applicants are under 36 and well-educated. What do you think about them? Do you think they are normal people with normal lives? What is the first and last problem that they may encounter during this life? What do you do if planners send you on this mission?
