All of the remaining candidates will be interviewed by the Mars One selection committee.
Eventually, only four will be picked for the first trip. Apparently, none of them is scared off by the idea that, because of technological and financial limitations, Mars One astronauts would probably never come home.

>>Mars hopefuls ponder life without families, favorite foods<<

That was bad, I don't even know why I said that........
That should drive up ratings.
Actually... No one would be happy. They would get pissy with each other on the trip there making all of them demand to return home.
Mars hopefuls ponder life without liberal policies and liberalism....
and imemdiatly start building the rocket themselves...
I don’t think they’ll ever go and if they ever do they won’t get to report what’s really there.
Mars. Think of Antarctica on a bad night without oxygen and 38% the gravity.
I will go if they let me be President of Mars for Life.
Naked and Afraid on Mars!
Give them a machete and a fire starter and let them fend for themselves.
Mars ain’t the kind of place, to raise your kids.
send single people, duh, or couples
LMAO!!!
Since when did Islam care more about life than death?
Send a whole family of illegal immigrants
“Don’t make me turn around, Juan!”
They might do better to ponder life without breathable air.
Tune in to see who is first to be voted off the planet.
It will come with a huge inflatable greenhouse to grow vegetables right? Hopefully one can grow vegetables there.
That would be TV Worth Watching.... someone strapped to a rocket
