Quote from: Robotbeat on 10/03/2016 11:16 pmI don't know about y'all, but I'd watch a reality TV show about colonists on Mars.That is essentially what their plan is.The "reality" series was supposed to be the Earth bound training, they then "assumed" complete ownership of all media and communications from the 'colonists' once on Mars. That wasn't to produce a "reality" show but to ensure they gained all profits from anything the colonists might do on Mars....

Flying back requires setting up fuel ISRU which is a major cost factor at start up. With a limited scope it is still cheaper to fly a few ITS expendable than setting up a large fuel ISRU factory. Assuming Mars One has their own site and no access to fuel ISRU set up by SpaceX.As I said I expect Mars One to have their own site and not colocate with the SpaceX base.Or in reality, of course I expect Mars One to do none of these things.

So yeah, a reality show on Mars. Look, that's been their plan from the beginning. I remember it.And if Mars is ever settled, there will be a reality TV show on Mars. And if I'm alive then, I'll watch it.

*snip*I think ITS will have killed any chance they had of further funding.Randy
*snip*They should have at least acknowledged or mentioned the IAC speech by this point, again it seems to indicate a lack of seriousness. *snip*

The question is whether you'd watch the reality show of the second colony on Mars 10 years after the first colony. ...

Wouldn't you?There are a ton of Alaska reality TV shows, and a LOT of people watch them. Alaska has been settled for a really long time, now. Doesn't stop people from watching reality TV shows set there.

BFR could save them from themselves.
Has anyone else heard of this?http://mars-one.com/It's a private company that is looking to put humans on mars by 2023 using Falcon Heavy launchers and Dragons for landers. They admit in the FAQ page that they have no funding yet. so for now it's just a dream with some pretty pictures.
