proposals from various agencies for exploring Mars – ranging from manned Mars missions to establishing permanent
settlements on Mars. What is significant is that many of these are from private companies or foundations. This entry of
private players into the fray has substantially ramped up the excitement around Mars colonisation. Mars One is one such

One team. The purpose of this interview is not to endorse Mars One’s plan, but to bring out the fascinating lessons that
their efforts in colonisation hold for us. – The Editor.
