Mars One Progress Report

So far, 78,000 people have applied to Mars One to become among the first colonists of Mars.  Fifty of those gathered in Washington, D. C., yesterday to hear Bas Lansdorp, co-founder and CEO of Mars One.  Robert Zubrin, president of The Mars Society, also addressed the group via teleconference.

How many of those 78,000 would actually go on a one-way trip to Mars is an open question, of course, but the project is garnering publicity in the meantime.
