Honey Boo Boo your 15 minutes of ‘fame’ are over!

In the ‘final frontier’ category, here comes the next ‘small step for man and giant leap for reality television’. ‘Dancing among the stars’ might be a good title.

Mars One, a ‘not-for-profit’ will produce a reality TV show of the establishment of a human settlement on the red planet!

Did they just rip off an episode of ‘Swamp People’ and set it in space?

The cost estimate will be about 6 billion dollars, so they’ll have to sell a spitload of T-shirts and coffee mugs. Mars One merchandise items.

The organizers say “Mars is no picnic. Living there is comparable to getting by on Antarctica” except for the lack of air.

They want to involve the whole world as the audience for the televised broadcast of the mission, from the astronaut selections to the arrival on Mars and their lives on the Red Planet. Whoa! This could be a mash-up of ‘Amazing Race’ colliding with ‘Survivor’ and ‘Fear factor’.

From the Mars One website: ‘An exploratory expedition to a new planet will always come with more risk than a trip to the local supermarket’ unless you have to take I-95 to get to the supermarket.

The selection process: After they have eliminated ‘unsuitable candidates’, the audience will have a say in who will be the first humans on Mars. Let’s hope Gary Busey, Lil Jon and Dennis Rodman get booted from ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ and are looking for their next ‘vehicle’.

The astronauts will eat fresh food that they produce on Mars through the use of high efficiency plant growing methods, in other words, once the meat is eaten on the way to the red planet you ‘ll be a vegan whether you like it or not.

In the case of Mars One, the audience will experience life on Mars in a much more direct, engaging and comprehensive way, through the astronaut’s eyes, like the first time they have to ‘go’ in the space ship. They will not just be ‘doing their job’, they will be living their lives, complete with all the emotions and struggles that are part of normal everyday life; except a wrong move might cost them theirs.

The risk factor: In space there are always things that could go wrong.
An accident during launch, vital components could malfunction during the journey, a number of ‘issues’ when entering Mars’ atmosphere, or there could be problems when landing.

Aside from that, have a good time for the rest of your life knowing that your Facebook page will be the center of nerds lives on Earth for the rest of yours.
