Mars one project- A giant leap for mankind- on Earth

in science •  8 years ago 

What's the feeling here, is Mars One a scam that will accomplish nothing, or an honest attempt that might actually succeed? My research indicates they have raised about US$700,000, have a somewhat reasonable plan that has to be doubled in size to be technically feasible http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0094576515004294, a decent fund raising website with good mainstream press excitement, and a plan for a reality tv program about astronaut selection that should eventually launch. Mars colonization can be done with a very large amount of money, but I'm not sure this attempt will be able to raise enough funds. Your thoughts?
