As follows from the article on iflscience.com, one of the participants of the program "to Mars one way" (Mars One) opposed the project, calling it a real scam. After filling in the application (made more out of curiosity), a former NASA researcher Joseph Roche, became one of the 100 finalists admitted to the flight to Mars.
In an interview, Joseph pointed to the many problems with the project, ranging from inaccurate data in the media (it was only in 2761 instead of the 200,000 applicants) to the problems of a psychological or psychometric testing program participants. Some of the leading contenders have earned their place simply by paying money for it.
"When you join as a candidate in the program" on Mars at one end ", that happens automatically after filing, you start to get points," explains Roche."You get points in every round of the selection process, the only way to get more points, is to buy goods from the" Mars One "or to donate money to them." And if you get the money from the media for interviews, the organization would like to get 75 percent of your income. As a result, most applicants are those who are brought into the project more money.
Until now, everything that Joseph did was fill out a form downloaded video, passed a medical examination and a quick test on Skype, and all ... Although the final adoption of the ranks of its potential 100 members of the mission, Joseph Roche has not yet met anyone from the project "Mars at one end."Previously planned multi-day interview, for some unknown reason, have been canceled.
There are other bad signs for the "Mars at one end." For example, the creation of a spacecraft project organizers hoped to earn 6 billion. Dollars on a reality TV show that has not happened yet. In addition, a former adviser to the project, a theoretical physicist Gerard Hooft thinks realistic launch date not 10, but only after 100 years.
General Director of the Program "on Mars in one end of the" Bas Lansdorp gave a press interview in which he called the statements of Joseph Roche untrue. For example, he argues that part of the unsuccessful candidates never made any donations. According to him, in fact it was 200 000 enrolled candidates, and that criticism is welcome because it helps to improve the training mission.
The next step, he said, will be conducted a more thorough selection of candidates for their reaction to the team and individual challenges. It is planned to transfer talks with other companies regarding the construction of spacecraft, as the delay in delivery of the settlers on Mars is unacceptable.
