Mars One finishes first round of choosing finalists for 2022 Mars mission | Science RecorderMars One begins choosing people for its Red Planet mission.
If you think getting into an Ivy League college is tough, just try getting chosen to join the crew of Mars Ones 2024 mission to Mars. The nonprofit announced Monday that out of more than 200,000 applications from aspiring volunteers for the mission, it has selected 1,058 to more on to the next round of screening.
Further rounds of winnowing down this pool of semifinalists will commence in 2015, when the nonprofit organizes them all into teams that will compete in extended training courses that tests their physical and mental capability. These training courses will air in a live reality show to audiences worldwide, with the proceeds going toward funding the mission itself.
