Have you ever dreamed of going to Mars, or have you ever wondered if humans would ever go to Mars? Well, your dream is beginning to become a reality. Mars One is a company that is wanting to establish life on Mars, and so far 200,000 people have registered to go, but that number has gone down to 2,782 people who are officially registered and paid for the fee. The people know that this is a one way trip, but they still want to go. The plan is for Mars One to get people for a trip to Mars in 2023, and every two years after that send cargo and more people to the planet. Would you want to go on this dangerous mission, or would you rather stay on Earth? I would stay on Earth, but I do think it would be kind of cool to try and inhabit another planet. What are your thoughts?

I don't think that I would want to do this, but YOLO!!!!!!!!!!!
I like your attitude... YOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I had the money to visit Mars. It would be really fascinating! I would be kind of scared to go considering how long the trip is or if we made it okay. But, for the people who have been dreaming to do this their entire life, that is a great idea to have people get the chance to visit Mars.
That is true, even though I don't want to go because of the dangers, but it would be cool seeing a new planet and its features
I would wait and see if it is actually possible and then see if it actually works, then it could be a reality for some people. How much would it cost though? I would think it would cost a lot!
If I would go, I would want to make sure that it was safe, I would let there be at least ten launches go and make it to Mars in a row without failure. I still don't think I would go anyway, there is just too much stuff on Earth that I would lose.
I think that i wouldn't be able to go if it was only a one way trip, i have family that lives far away but that would be unbearable. I think i would do it if we could have ways to go back and forth multiple times and more quickly.
It takes 7 months to go to Mars, I think even if they went back and forth it would be a long time not to see family or friends.
It would be an awesome, once-in-a-lifetime experience, but there are major risks you would have to take. Not having any way back if something goes wrong, not getting supplies, etc. It would probably cost quite a lot to board and everything. I'm not sure if I would go, it depends on how life is like here.
It would be really scary if you were on Mars and they couldn't get supplies to you, because unless there was plant life on Mars, which I don't think there is, then there would be know way to live.
