A Mission to Mars
Posted by Mitch Cormier
The Mars One Mission is a serious effort to establish a human colony on the Red Planet beginning in just over a decade.
Hundreds of thousands of people put their names forward hoping to secure a one-way ticket to space.
Trish Woodford is one of 1,000 to make the next cut.
Trish is a 29 year-old Charlottetown Rural grad now working as a prosecutor for the City of Toronto.
She talked to Matt about her dream to live on a planet far, far away.
And what her family said when she told them about wanting to take the one way trip.
