It's been 11 years since Mars One first announced their grand plans to colonize Mars. Fast forward seven years, the dream was over and Dutch company filed for bankruptcy.
Seen by many as an elaborate hoax, the project founded by Bas Lansdorp claimed to have recieved millions in private investment and over 200,000 applicants vying to snap up a one way ticket to the red planet.
So where did it all go wrong? In the decade since there has very been little talk about this ambitious mission, until now that is. Ridley Scott Associates is set to produce a documentary on the failed mission with exclusive access to Bas Lansdorp, founder and CEO of Mars One. Lansdrorp has always assured the legitimacy of his project and now with the emergence of SpaceX, SPAARK and Blue Origin, his claims seem far less outlandish as they did in 2012.
