We told you awhile back about the Mars One expedition accepting applications to go on the mission. The response from people around the world to actually wanting to get away from it all (and probably remain on Mars) has been phenomenal to say the least. To date, Mars One has received 80K one-minute videos for the chance to become a corporate astronaut. Registration is open until the end of August and a total of 500K applications are expected.
"Applicants we have received come from a very wide range of personalities, professions and ages. This is significant because what we are looking for is not restricted to a particular background.”
