TEXT: One Way ticket to Mars Mission 
NASA is looking for people to go to Mars, and never come back. This appealing career is for 
people who want a permanent change of scenery and planet. It is part of an ambitious new 
project to colonize Mars called the Hundred Years Starship. 
 Settlers would travel to the Red Planet and live there forever. NASA says it would be too 
expensive to bring humans back to Earth. The space agency can afford, however, to send 
supplies to the astronaut pioneers. 
 NASA has started the project with a modest $1.6 million, but hopes to attract investment from 
space-loving billionaires. Google founder Larry Page told NASA he’d be interested if they could 
get the cost of a oneway ticket down from $10 billion to $2 billion. 
The journey to Mars could take just four months. 
Settling on the planet would be extremely hazardous, especially the freezing temperatures and 
carbon dioxide atmosphere. Many scientists think colonizing space is essential. Stephen 
Hawking believed we must move to other planets to survive as a species. He said: “Once we 
spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe.” Dirk 
Schulze-Makuch and Paul Davies call it a “desirable goal” and part of our desire to explore 
saying: “It would require not only major international cooperation, but a return to the exploration 
spirit and risk-taking character of the great period of Earth exploration, from Columbus to 
Amundsen.”
