I’m really excited you’re here.

Why? Because we’re about to have a conversation that just might change your life.

In February of 2015, something came along that changed my life in a very big way.

I was named one of “The Mars 100”.

That’s right. I’m part of a mission whose aim is to colonize the red planet. It’s a permanent settlement. A one-way ticket to Mars.

Here’s the thing. The prospect of going to outer space for good has done me an incredible favour.

It’s given me the space I needed to look at Earth through new eyes.

Call it a chance to stop and think. Think differently.

And once you start thinking differently, believe me – there’s no going back. No going back to old ways of eating and cooking, old ways of caring for our mental and physical health, old ways of choosing the clothes we wear and the car we drive, old ways of understanding global warming, old ways of… well… just about everything.

And now that I’m thinking differently, I’m doing differently, too.

And so can you.

Join me on this epic journey, and I’ll show you how.

The first Mars One Mission crew leaves Earth in 2024.

That gives me just enough time. Let’s get started!

Would you like to work together? Call me or send an email or a tweet, and let’s talk!

The Mars One Mission is the brainchild of Dutch engineer and entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp.

His dream? To colonize Mars. To establish a permanent human settlement on the red planet.

By 2011, Lansdorp had grown impatient with NASA’s stance that it would only send humans to Mars if it could also bring them back.

Currently, the technology required to do that does not exist. That’s when the privately funded Mars One Mission was born.

In 2013, Lansdorp and his partner, Arno Wielders, invited people all over the world to apply for the chance to join the mission

as an astronaut. More than 200,000 brave souls from 107 countries answered the call.

On December 30, 2013, the field was narrowed to 1,058.

On February 16, 2015, the Mars One Selection Committee officially announced “The Mars 100”.

50 women and 50 men from around the globe are vying to become one of the final 24. It’s expected that a reality show will document

the selection process.

Crews of four will depart Earth once every two years, beginning in 2024.

The first unmanned mission will be launched in 2018.
