Have you heard about the Mars One project?

Another concern I have is that it isn't self sustaining, like the living supplies are sent from earth. And there isn't a strategy of getting back if things don't work out, so no money set aside for that. But what if something happens and they cannot afford to send living supplies anymore? Then we have a band of people stranded on mars.

Lol, I think it's becoming very clear that I'm not made for colonization. But I'd love to be a scientist on mars, that'd be cool.

Edit: I would sign up for a generation ship kind of thing though. Because there'd be a more assembled crew of hopefully a few hundred people and it'd be self-sustaining.
