Would you like to live on Mars? For the rest of your life? Mars One is a privately funded (or in the process of being funded?) company. Their goal is to send colonists to Mars, with no return ticket. They hope to achieve this by 2023. So if you're 20 now, and 31 then.. You'd have a good 30 or 40 years to live on Mars. They want to send 4 people at first, and more astronaut / colonists every 2 years. The greenscreen video seems a bit "under-produced" but this is an interesting idea, for sure.

"I look forward to leading this incredible team over the next several months and am truly excited to establish plans that support the President's challenge to send humans into Mars' vicinity by the 2030s."
How ambitious.
I assume "vicinity" means a flyby, rather than humans on Deimos, or something like that. Yawn

Elon Musk intends to beat them there, with plans to get humans on Mars within, in his own words, "Best case, 10 years, worst case, 15 to 20 years.” - and I wouldn't bet against him managing it!
