The mission expects to send groups of four to the red planet like clockwork from 2025, until 40 individuals are existing there.
The Dutch venture is secretly financed and needs to raise around £4bn to send up the first gathering. So far its raised around £500,000 (so its 1/8000th of the route there).
It's one of a few undertakings meaning to put the first people on Mars, yet this one arrangements to let an unscripted television show choose who goes and telecast life on Mars.
Maggie, who exists in Coventry, is one of a few Britons shortlisted for the mission and we had a ton of inquiries for her.
Maggie, why for heaven's sake (ha) wouldn't you have the capacity to return?
"On the off chance that we were to return it would cost a great deal more cash.
"You'd need to transport a considerable measure more fuel and there's no place to dispatch rockets from on Mars.
"There are likewise wellbeing dangers with returning to earth in light of the fact that the long haul impacts of the low gravity on Mars will influence our bone thickness and muscles.
"Space explorers who go to the International Space Station are virtually debilitated when they return, they need to figure out how to walk once more.
"It may be that our bones are brittle to the point, that simply the effect of arriving on earth would squash our bodies."
Wouldn't you miss your family and companions?
"It's actual I'll never have the capacity to see my family and companions until the end of time in individual, yet I'll have the capacity to see their portraits, regardless i'll have admittance to the web.
"I can compose messages home and talk as people do everywhere throughout the world.
"That'll be sufficient for me on the grounds that the individuals I'd go to Mars with I'd have put in 10 years with.
"That is essentially a large portion of my life so far so they'll practically be my new family and companions."
What do they make of it all?
"At the outset they thought I was insane and didn't generally trust it was valid.
"Presently they're a smidgen frightened. Everybody continues letting me know "don't set out for some getting chose".
"My mum still doesn't think its genuine, she continues clowning with me saying: "When are you going to move out? When you go would I be able to have all your cash?"
"On the off chance that I truly did go I think my mum would be very vexed.
"She's just got one girl, however I did go away to college for an entire year and it wasn't that terrible in light of the fact that I called home consistently."
Do you feel regretful?
"I do feel a tiny bit liable on the grounds that on the off chance that I get chose I'll have the decision of whether to abandon everything or not.
"That is slightly unnerving for me simply having the decision.
"In a few ways I think at any rate I've attempted to go to Mars and on the off chance that they don't select me in any event I don't need to settle on the decision."
Imagine a scenario in which the web breaks.
"That eventual horrendous.
"I won't have the capacity to contact home or have any interchanges with earth, however ideally we'd have the capacity to repair it on the grounds that we'll be prepared up in every aptitude we require.
"We'll be prepared electrical technicians, specialists, handymen, anything we require on earth."
Would you like to have an infant up there?
"I'm extremely open to having an infant on Mars. I think it would be truly energizing to be the mother of the first ever child conceived there.
"My infant could be the first ever Martian, we'd be the Adam and Eve of Mars.
"But on the other hand I'm really mindful there are a great deal of dangers included on the grounds that you don't realize what the gravitational impacts are."
What are the greatest dangers?
"One-in-three missions to Mars fizzle, so its really likely the rocket would blast before we got there.
"At that point there's no innovation right now to vent the oxygen on Mars.
"So in case we're creating heaps of oxygen we need to keep up it to a suitable level, like earth.
"In the event that we make an excess of we'll cause an enormous risk of flame."
What would you live in, what would you wear, how would you keep clean?
"On the International Space Station they wear disposable garments on the grounds that there's no clothes washer.
"When we leave we'll need to wear exceptional veiled suits that are pressurized and suitable for the temperatures (-60C).
"We'll spend our lives in inflatable arches with a room, a lounge, a workspace and a plant room where we'll develop our nourishment.
"When we get to Mars there will be gives. We'll create our own particular water from the dirt.
"Yet the trip there is anything somewhere around six and nine months and amid that time there are no showers. There's just exceptionally restricted water so we'll need to utilize wet wipes for six to nine months. It's sort of horrible."
Suppose it is possible that you get a super longing for a pack of crisps when you're there.
"We're going to develop our own particular sustenance so it will be essentially a veggie lover diet. Lettuce has been investigated and become on Mars.
