why no one is talking about this, i find it a great project
the roadmap summary
2015a training to help all partecipants to deal better with the conditions climatic of Mars, they will probably simulate it, in in some facility
2020a demostration mission will begin along with a launch of a communication satellite
2022an intelligent rover will lend on mars, to help the future lenders, to find the best place to establish their new outpost
the rover will help it by removing unnecessary thing in that area
a second satellite will be launched, for a better communication 24/7

everything will be settled before by the rover robot before the arrival for the lenders, so they will have water and oxygen
2026the crew one will be launched on the orbit, travelling to Mars, and a months after the first crew is settled, there will be a second launch for the second crew
bears in mind that there is no return to earth, for those people
2027after the first day, the crew will be moved to their living zone, they will be picked up by the rover for this, when they will arrive to their units, they will set up everything for their future life on mars, foods is the canned type and nothing else
Redundancy is extremely important because, unlike the crew aboard the International Space Station, the Mars One crew can't abandon their mission in case of an emergency. When the first crew lands they will find the habitat with a good level of redundancy. The established habitat will, by this time, include two living units, each large enough to house the crew of four, and two life support units which are capable of providing enough water, power, and breathable air for the entire crew. When the hardware for the second crew is incorporated to the settlement, it will feature four living units and four life support units, which are enough to sustain a crew of 16 astronauts2028the second crew will be launched, every crew from now will consist of 10 individual, the first one is an exception, and it was 100 individuals
