I'm posting this here since a lot of us follow science news and part of this article notes how media reports about the Mars One program, the one that proposes to send crews one way to Mars, repeat the claims of Mars One press releases without checking if they are accurate or if the program is a real program.
An Australian journalist named Elmo Keep has written two for Matter Magazine. He has talked on the record with senior staff of Mars One, NASA astronauts who are aware of the program, and recruits to the program. His conclusion is that Mars One will never get the money to send a crew and they are expecting to buy off-the-shelf technology to make the trip. This article, called "Mars One Finalist Explains Exactly How It‘s Ripping Off Supporters," is short but is based on an earlier long article. https://medium.com/matter/mars-one-insider-quits-dangerously-flawed-project-2dfef95217d3 The earlier long article is called "All Dressed Up for Mars and Nowhere to Go." https://medium.com/matter/all-dressed-up-for-mars-and-nowhere-to-go-7e76df527ca0 -- -- TV or Not TV ....
