We talked about this over on our forums. Apparently, it's going to be financed partly by a "Survivor" type game show for the selection process. Many members started nominating those they'd like to go to Mars (and never come back) like Pelosi, Obama and even Kim Jung Un was on the nomination list. I think even Beiber made the list. Hell, they really want to make money, they should continue the show after they arrive on Mars, showing how they adapt and fair the solitude. Watching them argue and learn to survive in a Martian world... Now, that would pull in the ratings. LOL.
Jake, I think you'd do good there. You've always wanted a micro-home.
