A Dutch company is planning on sending 4 people permanently to Mars in 2018. They chose 4 people out of 200,000 applicants. Would you apply for this? Your name would go down in the history books.

There would no way they will be able to send 4 people to Mars on 2018. How much is there budget? Does this Dutch company already send people to moon or even in space?

Not true just yet.  The actual choice of the applicants will be a reality TV series, to raise money.

Well is Mars gonna be terraformed by then because whats the point of a trip to Mars? A slow death?

[Kluge]

"The total estimated budget for getting the first four humans to Mars is $6 billion. Lansdorp would not disclose how much money has been secured from partners and sponsors but said donations currently total more than $200,000."

Dare to dream, I guess.

There are ways to live Mars without terraforming it. Getting to Mars is very huge undertaking how more for terraforming it.

The point in going to Mars is to discover new things what the rovers cannot do. With this first volunteer we will gain more knowledge/experience how to travel to other planets and how to survive on it.

That would be epic. Your name would be written on all history books. But America would call you "The first idiot on Mars."

This mission is fun because this is one way ride to Mars. I hope you will not change your mind after arriving to Mars. This is basically a suicide mission with 100% not going back.
