[The five British candidates are all under the age of 35
and hope to be chosen to be among the final crew of four,
who will eventually be selected for a 'one-way ticket' to the red planet.
Pictured left to right, they are: Maggie Lieu,
Alison Rigby, Hannah Earnshaw, Ryan MacDonald and Clare Weedon.
Hannah Earnshaw, 23, a PhD student in astronomy at Durham University,
said: 'Human space exploration has always interested me so the opportunity
to be one of the people involved was really appealing.
The future of humanity is in space. My family is pretty thrilled.
They're really happy for me. Obviously it's going to be challenging,
leaving Earth and not coming back. I've had support from my friends
and family and we can still communicate via the internet.
' The final team of four is scheduled to arrive in 2025 following
a gruelling seven-month journey from Earth
and could live in pods (artist's illustration pictured, bottom). ]


The Boss behind this mission
has not got enough funding
so is now trying game shows to bring money back?

It would be kind of cool to go live in another planet but I'd have to be able to bring my family :laugh:

Yes but the Funding for this has not got the Backing.
so these 5 fools will not be leaving earth
thats the real point

:laugh:

ok

I would 100% love to do it

How are they proposing to get through the Van Allen radiation belts ?

But you would Die on Mars
no return

I would love to do it if i was a young single man with no kids.I love all things space but i would miss my misses and kids within the first week.

very scary - but very brave.

So, no one is planning on doing earth to mars shopping trips for them?
They are basically being sent to die?

is the one in the middle a young boy or a middle aged woman

If you look at the first post
it names them
3rd person is Hannah Earnshaw

Well that sounds like hell. It would give me a headache after a week.

Clare Weedon with her mum
was on ITV1London News now


she is Deluded
saying she is a Pioneer?


Number one problem is the Funding for this
is not enough

I'd never do it, something is bound to go wrong and the whole endeavor will probably end in tragedy.

Funding is not there
they are all Deluded

Lmao

Oh no Jay... Not a headache!

J'accuse!

In all seriousness though... Look at them. They are definitely, definitely going to die.

They are not going
it costs to much
they can not get proper funding
thats the point


They are Deluded

They'll probably die anyway, they'll just forget to breathe or something.

i think it's a lesbian :sad:

I'm disappointed we can't nominate people to go. I have a list.
