Meet the 33 Americans who could live on MARS - and never return

Among the 100 prospective Mars colonists, which hail from 40 countries, there are 33 US residents ranging in age from 19 to 60.

The American hopefuls come from all walks of life, including PhD students, engineers, artists, medical doctors, and even  a singer and a workout trainer. 

Out of the 33 men and women vying for the honors of traveling to Mars, half a dozen are over the age of 50, including a married father of five. 

Mars One candidate Cody Reeder, 22, grew up on a remote ranch in Utah and currently works as a mechanic. In his mission profile, he writes that Mars will feel like home to him considering where he was brought up.
