Ethical questions over one-way Mars trip

A Dutch reality TV show which plans to send volunteers on a one-way mission to Mars is raising ethical concerns. Mars One sponsor Dan Petrovic says while it's a reality TV program, they won't be casting for conflicting personalities. "$US6 billion is a very low cost for getting people to Mars and sustaining them there," he said. Mars One CEO Bas Lansdorp says a new group of volunteer astronauts will make the seven-month journey to Mars every two years after the first crew departs in 2022. "When you send people to Mars there will be risks," he said.
