Mars One wants to send your ideas on Red Planet

The non-profit Mars One organization wants to send a lander to the Red Planet in 2018. The lander will have seven different science payloads, and people everywhere can submit their ideas to the organization now. The Netherlands-based Mars One foundation aims to send a total of seven payloads: four demonstration payloads, one payload selected in a worldwide university competition and two payloads for sale to the highest bidder. The unmanned 2018 mission will serve as preparation for a planned human mission to Mars in 2024, Mars One organizers said.
