Mars One is BS they are running it like a reality show?

[Paula]

In 10 years time (ie 2022) ---

1) they'll have made a small amount of money.
Advertizing revenue (from the TV show) minus the cost of "training" the groups.
Plus donations from interested people ...
Of course they'll need $100 billion and they are likely to have a shortfall of $100 billion.

2) they can "select" a winning group to go to Mars ...

BUT

3) there is no existing technology to send someone to Mars ---
so that part of the venture simply won't happen.
(Even if by some miracle they raised the needed money)

What did you expect ?
You wrote at length expressing your doubts.
The reality is that it will be 2038 at the earliest before any person goes to Mars.

Just let them play their game.
