Do you dream of living on Mars?Then turn on your webcam.You’ve got an application(申请)video to make.Mars One,a Dutch spaceflight project,plans to establish the first human settlement(定居地)on the Red Planet and turn the process into a reality TVshow.
The project began accepting applications three weeks ago.It charges an application fee from$5to$75.
By last Friday,about80,000people from more than120countries had applied to become one of Mars’first immigrants(移民)in2023.Most applications came fromthe United States (more than17,300),according to Mars One,and more than10,000Chinese have sent in their applications as well.
For the project,Mars One aims to find28to 40astronaut candidates by2015.Those candidates will then train in groups for about seven years.Finally,an audience will vote on which group will go to Mars on a one-way trip—if the project lasts that long.
