Huh, now that's interesting, I love this website. Womder of it would be possible to print stuff in space, you already have a vacuum and its not like the dust would blow away. It could make asteroid mining interesting, build the products then launch them at the planet you want to deliver to!
There's one company that's working on space based 3D printers.

Mars One Issues Requirements For 2013 Astronaut Selection
Yep, Mars One released requirements for candidates to be first people on Mars.
"Unique to all other space exploration endeavors before it, Mars One is opening the astronaut program to anyone on planet Earth that meets the base criteria. It is not necessary to have military training nor experience in flying aircraft nor even a science degree. It is most important that each applicant be intelligent, in good mental and physical health, and be willing to dedicate eight years to training and learning before making the journey to his or her new home on Mars."
"While the exact upper limits have not yet been determined, the lower age limit for applicants to apply for the selection program will be 18 years. By the time this person would land on Mars as an astronaut, he or she would be 28 years of age."
What are the qualifications to apply?

I would have never imagined to see this recruitment ad for a trip to Mars! Especially early at this age!
That's, of course, as long this whole thing is really legit. Maybe it is but may just crumble right at the end before the launch.
EDIT: I just read the qualifications required to be an astronaut to Mars; one thing stands out - anyone who is over 18 years old is eligible. LMAO!

Yeah. I have no idea if Mars One will manage to do it, but in case they do I'll try to remember when it started. That less than month when this world was supposed to end (yet again) story of new world was about to begin

I don think I'd fit. Do they send fatso's in space?
I guess there's hard chance for being in first missions. But to be among first 80,000 colonists? Why not.

I can't go cuz I have so much to do on Earth first... As interesting Mars is, it is still a wasteland at the present time.
I'll go when the time is right - probably a time when people routinely go to Mars just like we routinely go to our vacation places like Florida, etc.

There are two sides to me, I really want to go to Mars. I have always thought being an Astronaut would be awesome. I took a career aptitude test and the best fit job was Astronaut lol.
Anyway, on that extremely small chance that I made it - then I would probably never go back to Earth. I'd love to go, but I have family and what about a wife? Forget about that.
Hey. Stop reading. The post is over.
