Interesting article ... if it's true.
I think a lunar colony would be a whole lot cheaper but maybe they're worried about people being able to get away :P
The hole idea of being the among the first of a small group living on another planet where (as the article states) you will never come back and living the rest of your life where everything you do in your house is broadcast over the Internet back on Earth for a price ... doesn't sound all that appealing to me. I'm sure there are some people excited enough about space travel, though to actually consider something like that. Kinda reminds me of commercials I've seen for Terra Nova.

Also, how's the government supposed to work here? Cops are all employees of "the Corporation" that funds the project? What happens if some psychopath gets a bording pass? Come to think of it, on the other hand, if no one wants to go WILLINGLY, maybe they could colonize it the same way they did with Australia :P

I can see a video game coming of this.

Firearms in space. Kinda reminds me of Firefly/Serenity.
They've gotta be like air marshals, though, with special bullets. You don't want them shooting holes in those expensive space colony walls :P

To pay for all of this, Mars One says it will stage a media spectacle the likes of which the world has never seen — a sort of interplanetary reality show a la "Big Brother."
And each week a contestant will be voted out of the base habitat and booted out the airlock.

The competition will be fierce.

    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
