Putting aside fees and whatever, that was straight-up unpleasant. I watched about 10 videos, between recent, popular and random. I appreciate the people for submitting videos and such, but this is a serious endeavor and none of them would have a chance in a real mission. I suspect most are treating it like a vanity exercise. This felt more like a reality TV show about going to Mars. Unfortunately, seriously interested and competent folks were probably mixed into the rabble clamoring for attention.
I seriously respect the [real] folks that sign up for the eventual, one-way trip to Mars, but these seem not to be the folks. It's going to be hard. It's going to be unpleasant. And it's going to end both badly [in a sense] and gloriously. I didn't see that gravitas reflected in the folks I watched.

Literally! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_One http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_One > A global reality-TV media event is intended to provide most of the funds to finance the expedition.
- mvzink 13y agoHow could it even go to air? It would be such an incredibly deep and likely harrowing experience that it couldn't possibly be entertaining except perhaps to psychotics—and even if it was funny or something, that in itself would be absolutely horrifying. That said, I would have to see it for its depth and significance.
