Over 200,000 people have applied to live on Mars as part of an ambitious proposal by private foundation Mars One to establish a human settlement on the Red Planet by 2023.

The application process opened on 22 April this year. 202,586 applications from 140 countries were received through the online process.

The applicants have agreed to stay on the red planet for the rest of their lives – and be filmed for a reality TV program.

The Dutch group wants to launch a supply mission that will land on Mars as soon as October 2016. A ‘settlement rover’ will then land in 2018.

They added that landing systems will be tested eight times before they are used to transport humans – a move that Mars One said will make the trips ‘much safer than moon missions’.

From the 200,000 applications, between 24 and 40 candidates will be selected to participate in a seven-year training program that would start in 2015.

Current applicants have three more rounds to get through before the final selection.

Would you sign up for such a trip knowing that you'll never return to earth?

The grass always seem greener on the other side. What makes earth a failed project? I would say it's the people on the earth. Imagine if these people 'port' to Mars, it will fast become another failed project.
