Dutch company offers one way ticket to Mars (2:22)
March 27 - A Dutch company called Mars One is looking for volunteer astronauts to participate in the first manned-mission to Mars. The company wants to send four people to the Red Planet to start a colony in 2023 although there is one catch - the successful applicants will have no way of coming back. Jim Drury has more.

This may be old news.  I thought it looked like an opportunity for someone who wants to go on walk about in their final years.  A one way ticket to somewhere no one has ever been might appeal to some people.

Question:  Would Kurt Russel take the nuke with him this time?  Or does he only do portals?

No taxes? Is it because you are "in the red"?
