Ever wish you could disappear and just be somewhere else? Well, fill out your application for the Mars One project launching in 2023. Over 8000 have already applied to be on a team of astronauts that will go and live and build a community on Mars with scientists, Nobel Prize winners and geniuses who have already been working on this project for two years. Those selected will go through an eight year training period before going away for forever. If you want to come back, you’re SOL; the reason the trip one way is because the technology exists to go there but not to come back, so be wise in what you choose. Check out the video after the jump.
The six astronauts aboard the International Space Station can’t come home for the holidays, but they’re doing their best to make the season bright hundreds of miles above Earth’s surface. @Yungjohnnybravo @TatWZA
