From what I hear, the plan is to set up a small colony there within 10 years. They took volunteers awhile back, but I think they only picked the ones with some experience/knowledge in this kind of thing.

The craziest thing to me is that once they're set up there they'll be able to text Earth from Mars. They'll even browse the internet he hitch would make for the best AMA.
