Mars One is arousing great interest in the project manned expedition to Mars, assuming sending Traveler four selected from hundreds of thousands of candidates who will spend the rest of his life. Soon, however, there are voices that the idea can not be achieved, since the cost of the trip will be spent many billions of dollars. Meanwhile, Mars One there is no funding, and only trying to get it, using, among others, crowdfunding platforms and urging people to support the idea.
Despite skepticism Mars One continues to recruit and claims that with more than 200,000 have already submitted applications were selected hundred candidates who will go to the next step. One of them, the doubts in the implementation of this project, and information that revealed, put the idea into question.
It would seem that the candidates for such an important mission for humanity, will be carefully checked in every possible angle, and yet it turns out that the choice of hundreds of candidates seems rather random.
Yes, Dr. Joseph believes Rosche, holding a doctorate in physics and astrophysics, who went to the next step. In an interview Medium.com said that he was chosen solely on the basis of their video submissions, sent a simple questionnaire, a survey conducted by his doctor, and a 10-minute conversation on Skype.
Such criteria for selecting candidates suggest that the project is a simple fiction. For comparison, the commanders of the candidates for NASA space missions must be patched airplanes at least 1000 hours, in all were taken into account. Not to mention the need to have adequate knowledge and perfect health.
Even more interesting it gets later in the interview , suggesting that Mars One may just be an attempt to break the idea of cash for the trip to the Red Planet, which from the beginning was a fiction.
Rosche considered that, by sending notification, he became a member of the community Mars One. Its members are then points for different things, and the one who scores the most points, goes to the next round. Points are awarded mainly for buying gadgets with the logo of Mars One and a cash payment to the organization. And it creates unfair competition and makes the lead stand out people with a fat wallet. Moreover, the organization requires each candidate to gave her 75 percent of the remuneration paid for interviews and appearances in the media.
The most interesting, however, is that the information about 200 thousands of submissions strongly from the truth. In fact, there were only reports 2,761th Besides television producer Endemol, which Mars One had to sign a contract for the production and emission of a reality show designed to provide funds for the project, resigned from the relationship.
To summarize: Mars One does not have the money to carry out the mission, there are no contracts with private providers in the aviation industry for the construction and delivery of technology for their project, and no partner television, to deal with the production program. Nor is there any serious investors and no plans for a training center where candidates could prepare for missions.
In contrast, the participants themselves have never met in person with any representative of Mars One, and the interrogation took place over the internet and were carried out by one person.
Despite this, the organization still says it wants to send humans to Mars. Does not it look weird?
