LAST EDITED ON 02-19-15 AT 12:28 PM (EST)I suspect this is more about sponsorship money that will never be seen again and the trip will never actually happen. A Dutch company wants to send about 20 people to Mars in 2024. Never to come back. That's right - if you are chosen to be on Big Brother - Mars, your prize is to die on Mars. Probably pretty quickly and painfully.
200,000 applied.
Think the company could have made a lot more money by letting us vote on who we want to send to Mars. $1.99 per call. Kanye would finally win something. And Washington D.C. would be less crowded.
