Is Bitcoin Taking Woman to Mars?

According to their site, they have taken in roughly $633k in donations so they have a long ways to go...

So, in order to meet their own  "overly optimistic " schedule and budget projection, they still have to rake in around 600 million USD worth of donations per annum.This proposal sounds better the more we hear about it  .

The Earth is somewhat protected from stellar radiation. How much harmful radiation reaches the surface of Mars?

Yes ,I'm very aware of Valeriy Poliyakov (the guy's a legend after all).But the fact remains that being in space is extremely detrimental(muscle and bone loss, ambient radiation, neurological and microbiological concern etc) to the human body.Unlike Earth bound landing ,there wouldn't be any ground crew to assist/rehabilitate the first settlers so they need to make them at least as fit as Poliyakov when he made landfall(he still struggled with the few yards despite his intensive off time workout regimen) or ship some very good support facilities(which they intend to do) beforehand(and hope it doesn't break midway) .I'll be wary of of the stated numbers too, cost overrun is still pretty much   almost certain with endeavours like this.Not to say that that the minimum cost of 6 billion USD is chump changes either.

My problem is their website is very shy on divulging the details of the technology(and breakthroughs) needed to support this venture and this project is very much unprecedented in terms of scale and challenges that demands addressing.Till they reveal more, I guess.

The $6 billion figure is also seen by many as an unrealistically low number, possibly by 1-2 orders of magnitude. According to their site, they have taken in roughly $633k in donations so they have a long ways to go...

I agree. It costs billions to run the international space station and to send people to/from it and the international space station is very close to earth. Each additional mile that needs to be traveled in space will be more expensive then the last because of the added weight (when on earth) and the need to have all the supplies on the spacecraft when it leaves earth.

You can keep the costs down by "borrowing" elements from Robert Zubrin's Mars Direct plan. Here's a link to a video of him giving a presentation to NASA Ames. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKQSijn9FBs

Mars One is a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands that has put forward conceptual plans to establish a permanent human colony on Mars by 2025.

What a relief, I just started questioning my sanity. That really helped - I am actualy very sane, thanks!

"It will pass Mars at a relative velocity of 56 km/s (35 mi/s)."

Now that would be a ride of a lifetime, is anyone selling tickets?

I actualy might not be very sane. 

I bought mine from this guy.

Did you use FaceCoin (FACE)?

Nope.

I won it with a friendly game of rock, paper, scizzors.

is this serious??

is she so super intelligent that she appears umm, mental?

There is a theory that people with Aspergers are actually highly evolved crystal children with abilities beyond our understanding.

Genius's without a cause.

Satoshi? You mean the Americans? Soon,the time will come that everyone will know who Satoshi Nakamoto is, its the US Government.

I think he means Satoshi will buy Mars. lol
