mars awaits. but not for everyone.

Will you be one of the few?

The future of humanity is fundamentally going to bifurcate along one of two directions: Either we’re going to become a multiplanet species and a spacefaring civilization, or we’re going be stuck on one planet until some eventual extinction event - Elon Musk

Background

The clock is ticking. Earth’s time is running out. The human race must look beyond its cradle and take the next giant leap. but not everyone will make the journey.

This website will put your odds into perspective.
Fill out the questionaire below.

Loading Mars weather...

async function getMarsWeather() { let apiKey = "gXSgZaEdIccBhHYNthiMdSVJw9jhwid2WvBq3Eyn"; let url = `https://api.nasa.gov/insight_weather/?api_key=${apiKey}&feedtype=json&ver=1.0`; try { let response = await fetch(url); let data = await response.json(); let solKeys = data.sol_keys; let latestSol = solKeys[solKeys.length - 1]; let temperature = data[latestSol].AT.av; let pressure = data[latestSol].PRE.av; let weatherMessage = `🌡️ Temperature: ${temperature}°C | ⬇️ Pressure: ${pressure} Pa`; document.getElementById("marsWeather").textContent = weatherMessage; } catch (error) { document.getElementById("marsWeather").textContent = "❌ Could not load Mars weather."; console.error("Error fetching Mars weather:", error); } }

1.

Age

Time is your greatest asset. The younger you are, the more years you have to witness and participate in Mars colonization. Space programs also prefer younger, healthier candidates who can endure the physical and mental challenges of interplanetary travel.

function updateAgeValue() { let selectedValue = document.getElementById("age").value; document.getElementById("ageValue").value = selectedValue; }

2.

Health Condition

Astronauts undergo extreme physical stress, from prolonged weightlessness to radiation exposure. Only those in peak health will be considered first, while those with health issues may struggle to secure a spot.

function updateHealthValue() { let selectedValue = document.getElementById("health").value; document.getElementById("healthValue").value = selectedValue; }

3.

financial status

While government-backed missions will prioritize skills, commercial spaceflights will allow those with deep pockets to buy their ticket to Mars. The more you can invest, the higher your chance of securing a seat. Elon Musk ones mentioned a ticket would be $100,000.

function updateFinancialValue() { let selectedValue = document.getElementById("financial").value; document.getElementById("financialValue").value = selectedValue; }

4.

education level

Mars will be built by the most skilled and knowledgeable minds. Scientists, engineers, and medical professionals will be in high demand. While non-specialists may still have a shot, those with advanced education will be the first picks.

5.

criminal record

A new world needs law-abiding citizens. Those with clean records will be prioritized, while serious offenses might disqualify you from the mission entirely.

6.

Citizenship

Since SpaceX, the leading company behind Mars colonization efforts, is a US-based company, there’s a strong chance that US citizens will have an advantage when it comes to selection.

7.

risk tolerance

There’s at least a 5% chance you won’t survive the trip. Radiation, mechanical failures, or just the sheer danger of space travel, are you willing to take the risk?

8.

lottery

Even if you don’t qualify enough through skills or money, the lottery can boost your chances. The amount of lottery tickets account for 10% of humanity. Do you want to enter?

9.

choose your reality

The future of Mars colonization depends on global events.Best-Case Scenario:
SpaceX and other agencies have mastered Mars travel. Regular missions are scheduled, and technology allows many people to participate. There’s little competition, and Mars colonization is a global effort.Neutral Scenario:
Mars travel is possible, but resources are limited. Only the most skilled, wealthy, or lucky individuals will get a seat. Missions happen, but they are infrequent and selective.Worst-Case Scenario:
A catastrophe forces Mars colonization to speed up. However, there are only a few missions, and only the absolute elite will make it. Competition is fierce, and survival is uncertain.

You won the lottery and have a ticket to Mars!"; } else { statusText = "Sorry, you didn’t win the lottery. Someone else will take your seat."; } } else { statusText = "You did not enter the lottery."; } document.getElementById("lotteryStatus").textContent = statusText; }

    Mars is no longer a dream, it’s a destination. Those who plan, train, and act today will be the pioneers of tomorrow. If you want to be one of them, start making every decision count.

    Studies from institutions as variable as MIT and the University of Melbourne suggest that global civilizational collapse is going to happen starting around 2040.
