400 people would get to volunteer to take a one way trip to mars. ONE WAY. From what I've read, it's going to be a private funding so the volunteers could be anyone or one who has the pocket book to go on this trip.
What would it be like? the space, the adventure of a lifetime. The unexplored frontier...

A nice remix to the Yeah Yeah Yeah's song Run Away. A different type of genre indeed, but a good one

While I love to think about what life is like elsewhere in the world, I still take these findings with a grain of salt. I mean no one has ever seen an exoplanet with any kindo detail. The highest resolution picture I've ever seen the planet was like 12 total pixels.
This is HR 8799 b
There's probably better pictures, but nothing that'd tell us anything useful about the most important aspect to sustaining life: what kind of a magnetic field it has. Without a magnetic field, a planet has an atmosphere as thin as Mars'.
But that's really immaterial as there's billions of galaxies out there (that we know about, could be trillions), with trillions of stars, of which god knows how many have planets. The chances of life being on another body besides earth is a mathematical certainty. We just gotta keep looking and we'll find it. Well that and we need to build better ion propulsion systems. Much better ones.

Being shot out into space, that's what'd happen on that lil video there. Which basically is the same thing on Mars since it's atmosphere is about the same as our atmosphere is at around 200,000 feet, although with a different composition. Aside from the fact that there's no way to send supplies to Mars for months at a time, it's no different than being on the space station.
Noteworthy is that there's no way for people to send us supplies here on earth. What we got is what we got. It's the same for mars. But that's a whole other planet too so there's no reason to think that oxygen, nitrogen, aluminum, iron, or anything else that we'd have here isn't there too. The problem isn't the materials, it's the infrastructure. As long as you have energy, you can break any and all things apart into their individual elements.
