NASA will announce tomorrow the 100 people shortlisted for a one way trip to Mars.
Just 24 of them will leave Earth when the mission takes off, but they have been chosen from 200,000 people who wanted to give up life on their home planet and travel to Mars.
Those selected include doctors, lawyers, students and scientists.
The mission, named 'Mars One' will land them on the red planet and will attempt to keep them alive for the length of their natural lives, but will not bring them back.
The lucky 24 will nonetheless have some time left on their home planet, as the first human landing is not expected to be attempted until at least the 2020s.
