A new documentary profiles the people who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice: leaving Earth on a one-way trip to Mars.
The film, “One Way Astronaut,” tells the story of the Mars One mission to send colonists to Mars starting in 2023. It follows four of the nearly 80,000 aspiring astronauts who have applied for the mission, which is the brainchild of Dutch entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp.
“We are always looking to find engaging stories,” filmmaker Kai Dieho said. “Here you have a group of people willing to give up everything they have to be pioneers. There’s a lot of drama in there.” [Watch the film trailer for 'One Way Astronaut']
The full movie is available now in under a pay-per-view format.
The first applicant profiled is Stephan Guenther, a 44-year-old software engineer and pilot from Germany who has a wife and three kids. In the film, Guenther said it’s his dream to go to Mars, even though it means leaving his family behind.
