who are these people who want to take
one-way trips they don’t like it here on
earth are they the adventure types
they’re the people who want to die young
what is who are these people
I think that’s what we see first of all
is that it’s a it’s everyone it’s all
kinds of people it’s men and women all
the young its engineers of course
scientists but also politicians lawyers
soldiers it’s all kinds of people and I
think it’s actually very comparable to
the kinds of people that explored the
earth which could also have been anyone
anyone could step on a ship and sail
across the ocean
anyone could decide to leave their
village for new opportunities I was
looking up some numbers back then 500
years ago in the great Age of
Exploration most of a crew would not
return alive you look at Magellan’s crew
how many he went out with and how many
came back with alive I mean in some
cases you’d lose most of your crew and
that’s just here on earth you can
breathe the air and food was there
waiting for you when you landed so of
any projections of survival rate the
design of our mission is not detailed
enough yet to give percentages but I am
certain that it’s not going to be a safe
mission to Mars because there’s no such
thing as a safe mission to Mars I think
it will be more risky than climbing
around Everest which as a two and a half
percent risk of not returning alive and
hopefully less dangerous than climbing
k2 which has a 25% exploration has
always been dangerous and what’s
important for Mars one is that we
identify the risks we make sure that
everybody knows I’m not just our
candidates which for for them it’s the
most important but also our investors
our media partners the audience and then
if something does indeed go wrong just
like with the Apollo program people will
understand that this was something that
could happen you know guaranteeing
complete survival because that’s
inherent with being on the frontier of
discovery all of our candidates know
that this is a rescue mission and they
know that they are going
on a mission that’s that has these kinds
of dangers
