Mars One isn't going anywhere. It is a stupid idea. How do you define a "special" circumstance that sends people off to their death with limited liability? The good news is if they do go through with it maybe I won't have to wear a harness in a scissor lift any more since we must have abandoned all concern for worker safety in order for this program to go forward. These are not military service men going up. They are civilians and civilians have rights when it comes to safety. Mars One will not be able to satisfy these rights.

Folks are going to die 4 at a time till the program is brought to a stop. That is my prediction.

Sooo
Whats your point?!?

1st, 2nd, 10th...1000d it will be news all day long..

soo what if the dont make it, maybe the next 4 will...

That is what they said about Iron workers in the '30's when they walked along beams 100's of feet in the air. If they fell? meh... send more up. We have come along way since then.

Dead bunny hopping...

Hope it's a cool t-shirt...

I just received the same letter today with my entry code. I guess they are going out to anyone who ever signed up for Mars One.

Not in space we haven't.

We literally are in the pioneer days of it.

Private enterprise is in the pioneer stage, not publicly funded exploration. NASA had more checks and balances than any private corp. can afford. That is how private travel has brought the price/passenger down from almost 80 million to about 20 million. Skimping out on safety is how they achieve that. And that's fine until someone dies or gets seriously injured, then the party is over. It will have to back to 80 million just to appease the settlements.

Do not let scare you, beezzer, and thanks for the ride.

You'll see, it will be an interesting journey and we will find a lot of helpful people, nice, friendly and very welcoming.

Thank you for picking me up.

Congrats and hope it is all legit, you never know these days.

Of course it isn't legit. It's a scam.

I remember a similar one from the early Sixties, in which they sold tickets for the inaugural passenger flight to the Moon.

The OP now has two options.

1. He can attempt to create a futures market in useless Mars ticket optons, hoping that in a few years' time people even more gullible than he will pay him more for his option than he paid for it himself.
   
   
2. Never wear his nice new T-shirt but keep it wrapped in its original packaging with the seal unbroken, hoping that it will acquire value in the future as a collectors' item.

I wish him the best of luck.
