Ok everyone, here is your chance to get away from Global Warming, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and etc. Plus you might actually get to meet Bob.
Excerpt from the site:
In 2013 Mars One will conduct a global search to find the best candidates for the first human mission to Mars in 2023. On Mars, the primary responsibility for the astronauts is to keep everything, and everyone, up and running. The astronauts must be intelligent, creative, psychologically stable and physically healthy.
Mars One accepts applicants from any country in the world.
Once on Mars, there is no means to return to Earth.
The astronaut selection program will start in the first half of 2013.

I think you must also be suicidal....
It's a one way ticket to oblivion, at 18!!! 
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station....

I guess that rules out anyone from Code Project!

So what is left of Sea Bright and surrounds? We've missed you.
(Might be worth a new thread, rather than hijacking this one.)
Cheers,

That is SOO kind of you to say!
There's lots of demolition going on in Sea Bright - dozens of buildings need to be razed to make way for the new. Only two businesses have reopened in town, a Chinese restaurant, and a mom-and-pop hardware store.
By sheer coincidence, a beach replenishment project had already been scheduled long before the storm arrived, so they were able to begin dredging soon after the storm was gone. At least the beach will be ready for tourists by the summer of 2013, but nobody knows when the rest of town will be normal again.
Thanks for your post, and it's good to be back!

Hmm, I don't know, sounds like a big commitment...

I'd like to propose the entire government, of every country on the planet. They can stay.

Hmmm, is this for real, have they not seen Moon, 2001 & host of Films/books that basically put forward the idea that one or two humans on a mission like that doesn't end well generally?

"I'm a celebrity...you can't get me of here!"
What a shame.

With the way things are going here, I might have to take them up on that offer.
