Nonprofit Wants to Send People to Mars!

Something new and interesting in science today is that a nonprofit group is taking in applicants for a mission to Mars called Mars One. What they plan on doing is selecting 24 to 40 people and send them to Mars in pods of four people every two years starting around 2023. The people will be selected by having them pay a fee ($38 for anyone applying in America), then in 2015 they will have the 24 to 40 applicants selected and begin training them till launch day. The group will be getting  the money for the launches by having a reality TV show for the trainees that will from the beginning of training to the time they spend on Mars. They will receive a salary while training, but... the bad part is that once you are on Mars there is NO COMING HOME! So before you get excited about going getting paid for going to Mars, and being on reality TV... consider that you will be stuck there for life, and with people that you have most likely never met.

Hello,

I am going to devote this blog to information that interests me and maybe later the followers. What interests me the most is articles that are mainly about recent news that is occurring worldwide or deals with advances in science. Science and technology interests me the most so you will see a lot of that on here. I will either be lazy and give links, or read an article post my thoughts on the subject and give a link, and let you guess decide. I also might be blogging later about other things that I enjoy. Those include playing games on PS3 and on PC, watching movies, and certain kinds of concept art. The games that will be blogged the most are probably going to be KSP, Minecraft, NationStates, and some PS3 games that I have. Movies that I will blog about will be action, SiFi, and adventure, but I don't go to the theaters too often so probably won't be a quick response to a new movie. The concept art that I enjoy will mainly be related to science fiction. I think I am going to enjoy this, so I hope you guess do too.
