So, the unique selling point is that they own "everybody's memories" ("Blade Runner" reference) Remember that failed Terms of Service agreement as mentioned in the article; the one that allowed Instagram to own everyone's photos? (Memories.

I suggest that death row inmates be selected for the "Mars One" mission. These inmates are the most practiced at being forcibly confined in a hopeless environment and would be the most inspired individuals to make a death sentence into a li
