I know there are some people here who are very interested in colonizing Mars (at least there used to be). Has anyone ever heard of Mars One, based in the Netherlands? They're actually working on sending the first 4 person manned colony to Mars in 2024, with more groups going every two years after that. Crazy stuff. It looks like they've received 200,000 applicants from around the world, and applications are closed for now. They say you may be able to apply down the road for future trips. Their web site has a lot of info.
