Mars One - What do you think?

[Dreamweaver]

Maybe some of you have heard of the Mars One project, where basically starting 2024, 4 people will voluntarily embark on a journey to Mars to live there permanently, with 4 more people being sent every 2 years.

With this being the case, do you see Mars One leading to anything significant in the future? Maybe the start of a new economic frontier?

Will the ability to create cryptographic currencies, seemingly at will, come into play?

Let your imaginations run wild ion anything I didn't mention if you wish, because I fall into that temptation at times when reading about it, kinda like with the whole idea of sea steading.

Due to distance & limited speed of light, every planet will need its own Alt-Coin. Time to start MarsCoin, you can take it (& migrate the blockchain) with you to Mars

I believe that was one of my if not first question/post in this forum. Although science fiction now, the entanglement of particle information phenomenon in quantum mechanic could mean there could be one blockchain for the whole universe no matter where you are in perfect synchronization... In theory.

Why should we go to Mars?

Why did Columbus travel west? Why did Marco Polo head east? Because it is that pull, that unknown, that prospect of adventure that compels humans to seek new frontiers to explore.

There are a number of reasons to travel to Mars.

The first is the realization of an amazing dream! Sending a manned mission to Mars is a fantastic adventure. Imagine living on another planet, millions of miles from the Earth; looking up into the sky with the knowledge that one of the 'stars' is actually the planet you were born on. Who can even envision the incredible feeling of being the first human in history to step out of the capsule and leave your footprint on the surface of Mars? By this we implore you to not just think of that feeling for the astronaut, but the experience for all those watching back home. Those who observed Neil Armstrong land on the Moon all those years ago still remember every detail – where they were, who they were with and how they felt. This will be our moment, in 2025.

A second reason is good, old-fashioned curiosity. Where did Mars come from? Can it teach us about Earth's history? Is there life on Mars? These are just three of the hundreds of burning questions for scientists all over the world.

Thirdly: progress. You could say that sending people to Mars is 'the next giant leap for mankind'. This mission will jumpstart massive developments in all kinds of areas, a few examples being in recycling, solar energy, food production and the advancement of medical technology.

I can't believe no one made a thread about this before. What an amazing concept!

Let's not doom another planet with a monetary system.

If not for our adventurous ancestors migrate to America what might have happen? Industrial revolution would been late or does not happen at all. We don't know what we will discover in Mars. What Mars could have change us.

By going to Mars we will be to force make many things to survive there. Many byproducts and experiences that would be very valuable to the future survival of human race.

I can't get people who are going to live in space and who spend a lot of money on it.  Our planet is beautiful and still there are lot of things which we haven't learnt and there people haven't been.

Sounds horrible. The idea of leaving and not coming back. But that's the good thing about life, there are plenty of unique people who would have no issue of such things. I guess I would go too if I was paired with a super model hot girlfriend.

Your comment is so small minded. If some people go to Mars, then there are still going to be plenty of people on Earth to learn more about it. Not to mention that what we might learn from Mars could help up understand Earth a little better.

I'm willing to go to Mars. There will be no problem to me. I will be remembered to be the one pioneers and all martian will be my descendants.

Sounds horrible. The idea of leaving and not coming back...

...and that you forgot your towel!

..... and you forgot to turn off the iron   
I think that's a big price not to be able to come back

She won't stay hot forever with all that radiation and dust blizzards on her delicate photogenic skin.

It would be great to be among the first people who will come to Mars...
and detect traces of long lost Mars civilization...

I wanted to apply to this mission, I think it is amazing

Achieving something like that is a blessing

i have no skills (unless you count shotokan karate instructor...not to useful in a closed capsule going to mars) and/or
my ablity not to kill people in close sardineline space

hmmm...come to think of it perhaps the above is needed to get sent to mars as spam in the can for years on end

I will secretly send my robots to Mars first, and there they will covertly create mysteries that make Earth people curious about the Red Planet.  These mysteries will astonish the unenlightened and create a meme of The Others.  The Earth people will then go, as they always would, seeking answers.  But whatever they find they must find within themselves, as there will be no answers out in the endless red desert.
