December 30, 2013 Mars One project has announced the list of candidates who will be able to create the first human settlement on the Red Planet in 2025. Now the ticket to Mars claim 1058 people from around the world. Thus, the contest organizers threw 99.5% of candidates as to participate in the first qualifying round of the application filed more than 200 thousand people.
project studied the list of candidates. We found that out of 586 people in 1058 are men, and the remaining 472 – women. It’s safe to say that the project Mars One most interested people aged 26 to 35 years (of these 415 candidates), less young people up to 25 years (357). At the age of 36 years or more – 286 people. It is curious that the maximum age of the participant, which was held on the current selection, is 81 years. And despite the fact that in 2025 such a candidate will be in 90 years!
Most selected participants are working, but 81 people in any activity not earn bread, and another 164 so far in school. As you might expect in advance, people with higher education in the list of more than uneducated. For example, bachelor’s degrees about as much and without degrees (about 350 people), but a lot of candidates in the Martian colonists Masters (159) and even doctors (40).
greatest interest in the project showed residents of North and South America, followed by Europeans, Asians and Africans, close the top five, oddly enough, the inhabitants of Oceania. If candidates split by country (total 107 list), the most among candidates Americans (297 people), the Russians are in fourth place (52 people) in the number of sent and received questionnaires. Our country ahead of residents of Canada and … India. In the “top ten” countries other than the above are Australia, China, Britain, Spain, South Africa and Brazil.
As noted by one of the founders of the project Bas Lansdorp (Bas Lansdorp) in the official press release, the current 1058 people give organizers the first glimpse of how it will look like on the human settlement on Mars.
“We are very pleased, moreover, we are amazed at how many people filled the form on our website – added Lansdorp. – However, it was not easy to distinguish from the 200 thousand people who are physically and mentally prepared to become the first ambassador to the Earth to Mars, from those who see this mission, shall we say, less seriously. We even had a couple of applicants who shot the video for their candidacy, being naked “.
By what criteria were selected finalists of the first creators of the project? First, all applicants should be aware that they are smart enough and creative (in space without it anywhere), healthy, mentally stable and physically strong. None of the future explorers of the Red Planet will not return to Earth, this should be prepared in advance and consider Mars as their future though not too hospitable house. Flight to another planet is associated with high risk, even if engineers take into account all possible nuances. It will last for a few months, all this time, the crew will actually be locked in a very confined space ship. Only a precise vision of the goals and objectives, the ability to work in the current team will help a person to overcome all the hardships encountered, creators of the project believe Mars One.
As for the age of participants, then, as we have seen, the limit is 18 +. The upper limit is not, due to lower same existing laws in most countries, giving a person the right to be an adult and is aware of the actions. Needless to say, each participant can not afford any drug (drug), alcohol or tobacco dependence. Among other requirements of a 100% vision (you can adjust glasses or contact lenses), an increase from 157 to 190 centimeters, blood pressure no higher than 140/90 in a sitting position. The working language of the mission – English. In the course of the qualifying rounds requirements for the level of language proficiency will increase, say the creators of the project.
add that all 1058 participants in the next round of qualifying today were informed about the change of the status of their applications by email.
Everybody, by any criteria are not passed on, as well as those people who do not have time to offer their candidacy before the end of August 2013, will be able to apply in the future. Selections will be held later, although the exact date has not yet voiced organizers.
“American astronaut Clayton Anderson 15 times was refused on the NASA space flight, but in 2007 he became a member of the crew of the space shuttle” Atlantis “, who went to the ISS. It all proved what can happen anything, the door is never closed completely, “- said Bass.
What awaits the lucky on 1058? Before they will be given the honor of becoming the first colonists of the Red Planet, they will go through a lot of tests, testing their physical and emotional capabilities, teamwork. What kind of tests will take the remaining members in the next two years, we learn at the beginning of 2014. Details will be announced when the media companies that have the right to broadcast the qualifying rounds will begin to show the first reports from the scene. It is planned that the final will be six groups of four each, who will fight among themselves for the right to go to the Red Planet. The final selection will be made by means of the national (spectator) vote.
“We hope to understand what motivated people willing to make that giant leap for mankind. This is the stage when all candidates and organizers of the project Mars One becomes really interesting to participate in the process,” – says Norbert Kraft (Norbert Kraft), Chief Medical Officer of the project.
“We anticipate that many of our remaining candidates will be well-known personalities in their cities and in many cases in their countries. becoming curiouser and curiouser” – stokes interest Lansdorp.
add that in 2013, the project Mars One (as the creators claim, not profit-oriented) carried out an extensive campaign. She had to show the world that shipping the first devices to the Red Planet, appointed in 2018, and then send people in 2025, was not a joke or another reality show.
Lansdorp and his colleagues got the support of major organizations (such giants as the company Lockheed Martin), which experts will be able to consider all the technical aspects of the mission and implement plans that seem now a very challenging task. The project is actively attracting sponsors from around the world. Mars One will be funded including using kraudfandinga (all wishing to become part of the historic mission can invest their funds, since December 10, 2013).
first footprints on Mars and life members of the team will continue to inspire generations of great deeds, the subsequent conquest of near space. That interest of ordinary people to help finance a manned mission to Mars, the organizers emphasize in a press release.
