Life on Mars?
Imagine you get the chance to travel into space. Will you go? Some scientists think this might be possible for many of us in a decade or two. If they're right, our children and grandchildren might one day live on other planets.
1. In fact, the first short tourist trips into space have already happened. However, you can't go unless you're incredibly rich - the tickets cost around thirty million dollars! Businessman Richard Branson wants to change this. His company, Virgin Galactic, promises that space trips will become much cheaper in the near future.
2. The international Mars One project is even more ambitious. It plans to send 100 men and women to colonise the 'red planet’. Sound exciting to you? Well, how will you feel if you can't leave?
3. The project's director, Bos Lonsdorp, says all of the tickets will be one-way! Most scientists feel the project won't be possible for a long time, but Lonsdorp is convinced the first trip isn't far away, and he has invited people to apply to be passengers.
