Mars One is planning on settling a colony on Mars by 2023 as part of an ambitious new project.
The Dutch company will be holding a worldwide lottery in 2013 to pick 40 people who will be trained as astronauts to undergo the mission and live in the colony. There is one important catch however - the trip is one way, participants can only sign up on the understanding that once they've left for Mars there will be no coming back."We will send humans to Mars in 2023," said Mars One founder Bas Lansdorp.

If you've always wanted to live on a distant world, Dutch company Mars One wants to give you your chance to settle on the red planet. There's only one catch: You'll never be able to return to Earth.
