Mars One, an organisation which plans to establish a human settlement on Mars in 2023. The mission will begin with a landing rover set to launch in 2018 to scour the planet looking for a suitable landing site.
WANTED: Humans To Populate Mars Colony
Mars One is planning to boldly go where no man has gone before.
The non-profit organisation plans to establish a human settlement on Mars by 2023 and has issued requirements for its pending Astronaut Selection Programme.
Successful applicants will have to undergo eight years of training and education before making the journey to their new home on the red planet.
Once on Mars, they will be required to donate the rest of their natural born lives as there is no means of return to Earth.
Mars One has already received more than 1000 applications from individuals who desire to go to Mars.
The company says they're not seeking specific skill sets such as medical doctors, pilots or geologists and state it is not necessary for the applicant to have military training nor experience in flying aircraft nor even a science degree.
While the person has to be at least 18 years old it is most important 'that each applicant be intelligent, in good mental and physical health and be willing to dedicate eight years to training before making the journey to their new home on Mars.'
The Mars One Institute pulled no punches yesterday and said: 'They should realise that if this project is successful, they won't be coming back.'
Former NASA researcher Mars One's medical director, Norbert Kraft, said: "Gone are the days when bravery and the number of hours flying a supersonic jet were the top criteria for selection.
"Now, we are more concerned with how well each astronaut works and lives with the others - and for a lifetime of challenges ahead."

Postmen to be issued with 'Posting Pegs' to avoid getting their fingers bitten by dogs, Britain - 17 Sep 2011
Manadatory Credit: Photo by Mikael Buck / Rex Features (1448596k)
'Posting Pegs' To Foil Dogs With A Taste For Postmen
Postmen are to be issued with a new gadget that aims to prevent their fingers being bitten by overeager dogs.
'Posting Pegs' are 8in long, flat plastic tweezers that allow postmen to keep their fingers well out of the way when posting a letter.
They simply insert the letter into the peg before pushing it through the letterbox.
A simple twist of the stick then allows the letter to be dropped, with the postman never having to expose their fingers to potential attack.
It is hoped that arming Britain's 70,000 postmen and women with the implements will reduce the 5,000 dog attacks they suffer each year.
The Royal Mail has now started offering the pegs to all of its staff and they are provided upon request.
However, according to Dave Joyce, national health and safety officer for the Communications Workers' Union (CWU), many Royal mail employees are not even aware of the existence of the pegs.
He is calling for a campaign to make postmen and women more aware of the devices, as well as calling on households with aggressive dogs to fit letterbox cages.

Out of the Dust ¿ Life in Afghanistan, by Hans Stakelbeek- 2007
*STRICTLY ONLY TO BE USED IN CONJUCTION WITH COVERAGE OF THE EXHIBITION 'OUT OF THE DUST - A LIFE IN AFGHANISTAN'*
OUT OF THE DUST - LIFE IN AFGHANISTAN
A powerful collection of images of everyday life in Afghanistan will be displayed for the first time in the UK in a new exhibition this summer.
'Out of the Dust - Life in Afghanistan' features images by Dutch photographer Hans Stakelbeek. The exhibition runs from 30 July-31 August 2008 at PM Gallery in west London.
In 2007 Hans Stakelbeek was commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to document the reconstruction of Afghanistan during the efforts to restore peace and stability to the country.
Stakelbeek made four trips last year, shooting in Kabul and Uruzgan, as well as other remote areas.
As the project developed, he also became interested in capturing the stories of the people he came to know, as well as the reconstruction efforts required by his official posting.
'Out of the Dust' presents a set of images that pays tribute to the determination of the Afghan people to survive and live as normally as possible through the upheaval - building homes, going to school and working and playing in testing and frightening times.
The collection gives a rare view of daily life in Afghanistan without a military slant and each photograph comes complete with Stakelbeek's own written commentary, which reveals the stories within.
The exhibition is an up-to-date presentation of current life and an opportunity to see how the country is changing, how the reconstruction is ...
