South African in the Mars mix as race to the Red Planet heats up
It is 2031 and the next space race has started with the launch of the largest-ever interplanetary space rocket and spaceship carrying four carefully selected astronauts on a mission to establish a human settlement on Mars – a planet that is about 225-million kilometres away.
Heading for the fourth rock from the sun, these first Martian astronauts will never return to earth: the Mars One mission is a one-way trip with no option of returning.

Adriana is on a mission to Mars
Cape Town – Right now there are people having sleepless nights contemplating a move to another city for a job or to be closer to family. But for Dr Adriana Marais, such a potential move is literally light years away – to another planet, to be exact. You see, Adriana is on a mission to be among the first people to settle on Mars. In 2013, she applied to be a candidate astronaut on the privately funded Mars One project. She is now one of 100 selected candidates around the world. This number is expected to be narrowed down to 24 by next year. The 24 will be sent to Mars, four at a time in six groups after a decade of training. The date for launch is 2026. They won’t be returning home. It’s a one-way ticket.
