One-hundred finalists have been announced for Mars One's one-way trip to the red planet. Ben McClean of North Hollywood is one of those finalists.
The non-profit company Mars One plans to establish the first human settlement on Mars by 2025. Pictured is an artist's rendering of a series of habitats. Solar panels (in the foreground), would supply the colony's electricity, while a system to extract water from the soil (in the background) would supply drinking water.
