EX PAF Heli Pilot chosen to train for one-way Mars mission

. .
A one way trip to Mars is a highly controversial and insane idea. It would have been a much better idea to start with a round trip to the moon and get everybody safely back to Earth after so many years and gain valuable experience. After journeys to the moon gives enough experience and data about space travel, then a round trip to Mars should be planned. I hope common sense prevails.

Thats why this will never happen.

Robots with camera stream back to earth will travel the universe. They can survive in hostile conditions so humans can visit many more planets.

Give it 100 years and Humans will be launching capsules with AI intelligent robots who will tour the universe looking for earth like planets and others. All pictures will be beamed back to Earth and this is how the human race will explore the skies.

Not this waste of money.

Yes that is the way things are happening right now. The robot to Mars is a success story.

Looks like a real attempt of Ascension ( the famous TV series) is where all their lives the people thought they are travelling in space.

You should read the comments about the parade which is yet to take place.....more than obsession, it's an acute case of diarrhea due to indigestion.....

Pakistani chosen to train for one-way Mars mission

A Pakistani man is among the hundred candidates — from 200,000 hopefuls — who have been chosen to train for a one-way trip to Mars, his profile on the Community Mars One website said.

Sixty-year old Reginald Foulds, one of the final contenders for the ambitious mission, served as a helicopter pilot in the Pakistani air force before retiring in 1992. Foulds moved to Canada with his wife at the age of 42, according to a report published in the Business Insider.

"With my 22 years of military background as an infantry officer and a helicopter pilot, I am capable of surviving in any conditions. I have been trained to stand against any odds and in any conditions. I have learnt to be adaptable, determined, curious and courageous; I am very focused in what I get out to do. I am a very reliable and a trustworthy person," says his profile.

It adds: "I have the curiosity to explore having no fears whatsoever; to me death only comes once. I have a will to go beyond the skies to seek and discover. To me there is no such word as impossible or I can’t. I, like the Mars-One team, have a vision to leave a legacy for this world to remember for thousands of years to come. I am determined to do something literally out of this world and be one of the first human for the dawn of a new era – human life on Mars."

Eventually, the 100 candidates will be whittled down to 24 to make up groups of four which Mars One, a Dutch not-for-profit company, is going to send on a one-way journey to the Red Planet, which lies a minimum 55 million kilometres — six months’ travel — from Earth.

The group behind the endeavour hopes to use existing technology to fulfill the mission. However, the Red Planet has always been a complicated place for exploration with only half of the unmanned missions ever succeeding.

The mission is expected to take approximately seven months and a recent MIT study found that even if the space junkies succeeded in landing, they would only survive for 68 days using current technology.

Good Luck Sir, i hope you make it to final 24...

knowing the life expectancy of Pakistanis, I doubt he will be fit for flight by the time mission actually takes place. Just saying.....and that's assuming he will be alive for that.

There are 1000s who apply for this, and given the profile of Reginald Foulds i thought he was right candidate.
Not sure what was negative in that.

there are ample available in Pakistan for one way missions.

If you have seen number of people applied for this mission from pakistan, you must have realized that It was said in context to the topic, the whole sentence meant that he was the right candidate selected from pakistan from 100s of them who applied for it (one way mission to mars).

Have a great trip Reginald Foulds..

Finally wishing him to enjoy the last trip that he has opted.

Where was negativity in this.

As they say if you are thief every other person looks thief to you...
Please get out of your negative mindset and I am sure Pakistan will be much better place to live in.

And this kind of response brings tens of likes and no negative rating....no wonder some people surely need to think above borders and think on lines of humanity.
