The Mars One project has been declared bankrupt

The ambitious Mars One project, which wanted to take people to the “red planet”, has been declared bankrupt.

Dutch entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp came up with the idea, but failed to find the necessary funding to keep the project going.

The project that would send humans to Mars by 2027?

 

[ToxicBunny]

Well that's a surprise.

 

[Polymathic]

I think he planned on having a reality series

And could have done it if they had access to one of those flying cars from the 70's. Man, that pie could fly anywhere in the sky.

Nobody wants to go bouncing around on some barren dead planet. No trees, animals, water nothing and you are stuck there for good. No thankyou.

It seems like a great idea on paper but good luck finding anyone who will actually do it.

well ... if we market it as land stolen from African tribes by colonizers centuries ago and distribute it via EWC I'm sure we can get a few bites ... the kind that can travel to mars on the cheap, no life support needed

 

[Swa]

Called it.

 

[SauRoNZA]

No surprises there.

 

[Moosedrool]

Was there actually anything in production?

You'll be surprised how many nut jobs will actually sign up especially with the likes of the flat earthers and other radical societies.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Poor volunteers, now they must actually get off the couch and find themselves employment.

 

[Lew Skannen]

Lol. Humans will not be going to Mars in our lifetime. Anyone claiming this should be scrutinized carefully.

 

[BubiSparks]

Why doesn't MBB just post links to Slashdot.com....? Every other story you post is just a rehash of one of theirs published the same day.

The 1 percenters have decided on Elysium just yet I see.
