In two weeks, Mars One receives over 78,000 applications for one-way trip to Mars

In two weeks, Mars One receives over 78,000 applications for one-way trip to Mars: "Despite the one-way nature of the trip, it seems there’s no shortage of people willing to pack their bags and experience life on Mars. Just two weeks after putting out the call for potential Mars settlers, Mars One had received over 78,000 applications from people in over 120 countries. With the application period set to last 19 weeks, the Mars One selection committees face a daunting task in whittling the numbers down to the four individuals that will ultimately make the journey that is planned for September 2022."
