mars documentary the guardian if I die on mars planet

Humans have already stepped foot on our nearest celestial body – the moon – and if the not-for-profit Mars One organization gets its way, four of our own will travel to another planet within the next 10 years to become the first people ever to touch down on another planet.

In 2012, more than 200,000 people from all around the world signed up for a spot on the four-person spacecraft that’ll travel to Mars. The field has since been narrowed down to 660 finalists. This short documentary from The Guardian profiles three individuals from different walks of life that are willing to leave everything for a one-way trip to Mars.

Surprisingly, the finalists aren’t as crazy as you might think and make some pretty compelling arguments as to why they should be selected for what is effectively a suicide mission.

Found is a TechSpot feature where we share clever, funny or otherwise interesting stuff from around the web.

I believe I would make the candidates pass at least a "6 month space station test", before sending them on such a journey.

Perma Boy would pass with flying colors, on account of only caring about the mission.

Sub Zero would pass with flying colors, on account of only caring about her evaluation.

The Innocent can't be failed.

Actually, the chick with the popsicle is pretty hot. I'm not sure what this has to do with "space sluts," though:

A whole planet to call your own for the last few hours of life, and you guys can only concentrate on being cooped up in a shuttle.

That is precisely the point. Six months to a year cooped up in a spacecraft for a few measly hours on a planet just to claim "first!"? They can have their vanity, the carnal angle is the only one worth playing.
 
Where's the impression that the Mars mission will last for a few hours of their lives coming from?

Sure, Mars is a frozen desert with a lack of oxygen and radiation issues. But the mission is well thought out and considers these.
 
So the maths geek doesn't fear or mind dying however he has to masturbate for scientific reasons to prevent prostate cancer.

huh?
