In 2024, Mars One plans to send the first human mission to mars—four astronauts who will establish a new, permanent human colony on the red planet. More than 200k people applied to be considered for a chance to make history.
But there’s one major catch: Mars will become their permanent home.
If you’re having trouble imagining the type of person who would jump at this opportunity, you’re not alone! Fortunately for Earthlings, there’s a reality show in the works—the show will follow the extraordinary selection and training process and give us an up-close look at this unprecedented trip.
There’s also a book in the works. That’s where we come in!
We’re proud to be working with Norbert Kraft, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for the mission, on Mars One: The Human Factor, due to hit shelves in Spring 2015.
Essays in the book will explore the concept of a human colony on Mars, as well as the logistics and psychology behind Martian citizenship.
BenBella is thrilled to announce this exciting title!
