Video Documentary: One-way ticket to Mars

Scheduled for 2023, the Mars One mission to Mars will be a one-way ticket for the first group of four men and women. 

RT has made a short documentary about Anastasia, from Moscow, who is on the short-list for this famous and dangerous trip.


The documentary tells the story about how Anastasia is hoping and longing to travel to Mars, despite the dangers, and discusses her family's concerns over this possibility.  Her father always dreamed of becoming a cosmonaut and supports his daughter.  Her mother, on the other hand, is worried sick and doesn't want Anastasia to go.

Anastasia herself  was one of 200,000 people who applied from all over the world.  The plan is for them to collect data, grow oxygen-producing vegetation and prepare Mars for human colonization.  She has always felt that she lacked a purpose in life and has just been waiting for her "real life" to begin.  When she heard of the project she felt this is what she has always been waiting for.
