Moving to Mars?

A Netherlands-based non-profit organisation, Mars One, is seeking people who would like to go to the planet Mars and become colonists there. The application period starts early this year, and the earliest journey is set to go ten years from now.

There is one evident catch: you will not be offered a chance to go back to Earth. The idea is to start a human population on Mars.

I can see another possible catch: there is nothing saying you can bring dogs. Wherever cultured humans live, they usually live with dogs. A human colony on Mars should, therefore, have dogs. I hope they will consider this further on.
