Jun 01, 2012 Mars One
It seems rather like a trailer for a Sci-Fi flick, but this is, in fact, a promotional movie produced by the people behind Mars One – a mission to inhabit Mars by 2023. The Dutch company claims they already have the technology and the supply chain necessary to take mankind to this bold new frontier. There’s a catch, however. The participants in this highly inspiring mission will be stuck on Mars indefinitely, emigrating permanently, with no means for return to our home planet. It’s already being billed as the biggest media event in the history of the universe. Read more about this fascinating endeavor at Business Insider. The trailer’s stylistic similarities to that of Moon, an excellent albeit creepy movie about the psychological pitfalls of life at the far edges of human civilization, are slightly unnerving at best.
