I don't think they'd ever go to mars anyway because GOD promised them paradise earth. They just keep sticking their foot in their mouth when they put a time limit on when it happens . Personally I don't think any human will ever go to mars . The moon landings were faked and stanley kubrick was to blame for that

My impression of that website - it seems to be a pitch for a "reality show". Big Brother on Mars or some such.
The "merchandise" link seals the deal on tackiness and commerciality.

The people who have applied for the Mars One expedition are out of what is left of their minds. They have no idea what they are getting themselves into. By comparison, the inane beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses look completely sane and logical.
Do they really know what would be involved in living there? At least they understand this is a one-way trip, that there can be no return to Earth. I can only believe they have some romantic notion of what life on Mars would be like and think that it simply means living in space suits amid red dust and arctic temperatures. If it were that easy a base would have been established on the planet decades ago.
We’re talking about a nine-month flight just to get there. A world with no free oxygen and no life as we know it. There is no liquid water on its surface. There is no magnetic field or ozone layer to shield inhabitants from deadly cosmic radiation. A world that is also incommunicado with Earth for extended periods of time. That means should disaster strike, there may be no way of communicating this to Earth and perhaps getting some kind of rescue mission together to help the colonists.
In my opinion, based on the technology we have now, a base on Mars is infeasible. It could not be self-sustaining and so there is no reason to establish one. In the future, when we have the engineering and biomedical problems solved, then I would support such a mission. Until then, the best we can do is send a team, spend a few weeks on the surface, and then return to Earth, joyful that we not only put a team on the surface, but got them all back alive along with the invaluable data they will have collected.

Come on Quendi, dont be so negative! You know we have stolen Alien technology that we have been waiting to use. Where do you think Velcro came from? Just think of all the piece and quiet, no traffic jams, no lousy reality shows. No TV, no cheesy fundamentalist ministers. Opps, I just thought - no Harley dealership???? Im out!

The best writing I’ve read on Mars colonization is Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy: Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars. I highly recommend them. While I don’t need to have Harley dealerships, the lack of any KFC franchises put paid to the whole thing for me. LOL

Sooner or later, we need to get a significant number of people off this rock and self sustaining.
