A two years journey for a crew of just four people is hard... I think they should reconsider this.

Going to Mars is always an interesting idea. And, you have to start somewhere. Personally I would rather most of the bugs were worked out before I did it. I think that the fiat currencies will collapse, throwing the whole world into turmoil, before these people get going. But if it happens after we get some folks out there, they will probably be stranded, unless the 4 that are already out there, and the 4 replacements that are on the way, decide that they all are going to return together, once they hear of the collapse over the radio. If we DO manage to get people on Mars, I seriously doubt that we will get a self-sustaining colony going before the collapse. Any way, it'll be more dangerous, and harder work, than most of the group can imagine.

I think it's an awesome project that the humankind needs, even if it just to increase interest in space travel and the colonization of Mars.

Then there's the street people in the U.S. - a lot of them ex-military - and the homeless kids, and the people living in their cars because they lost their homes to a corrupt banking system, all who don't think about the Mars One project very much, because they are almost starving to death.

If you would rather do drugs all day then get a job to pay rent then yeah your gonna end up homeless. I have no sympathy for people addicted to drugs or lazy. Now that being said of course I do have sympathy for the rare homeless person that is actively looking for a job but just cannot find one and is not addicted to drugs or alcohol. Now back to the topic at hand of mars one. I cannot find where I read it but I believe they said they will be televising the training of the people chosen to go to mars.

We'll never make it. The economy is on the verge of a gigantic collapse. I would hate to be among those that went with the idea that a return ship would bring me back. If we get there at all, and if those who are there aren't self sustaining when the crash comes, they will die young.

This project is good however it could be our vacation home not a living home. No matter what they do it would still be far from being a better place to live like earth.

This would be a suicide mission. I think the company are not capable of doing this project. Project like this needs NASA.

From what I have read, it sounds like it won't get off the ground for many different reasons. Funding is probably one of the larger problems they will face. It will likely be very difficult raise the $6b needed for the first manned flight, not to mention their estimate is seen as unrealistically low.

So is staying on the planet Earth. If by suicide mission, you mean they will eventually die.
