Mars One is a non-profit organisation which is planning to
establish permanent human colonies on mars by 2023.

To make it simple. The info will be in points.

Gerard 't Hooft.
By 31st August 2013, a total of 202,586 candidates from over
140 countries had applied for the one-way trip to Mars on the official Mars One
website. The application fee varies from US $5 to US $75 (the amount depending
on the relative wealth of the applicant's country). Initial screening of the
applicant pool will begin before the end of 2013.
So, I guess we are about to witness a huge historic moment. Your comments and suggestions are most welcome. Keep visiting!
