Deccan Herald | Looking for a new home? Try Mars
23 May 2016
Do you think that one needs to be wacky or barmy to suddenly plan to go to Mars? According to websites and data found online, there is no dearth of such people. The Common Task by Pallavi Paul and Sahej Rahal, is a film which follows the dream of two applicants from India who applied to go to Mars, through the organisation called Mars One. It plans to organise a one way trip to the Red Planet and aims to establish a human settlement on Mars.
... applicant Rowena Mathew withdrew her application after some rounds. She says she was dissatisfied with the administration process and controversies surrounding the donations. She affirmatively says that in no way does this mean that she will not go to Mars ever. Her interest goes beyond this particular programme and rather on the spirit of space exploration.

Delhi resident Rowena Mathew has taken the idea of an out-of-this world adventure quite literally. The 23-yearold intern at UNESCO is among the two lakh people from around the world who have applied to the Mars One programme that aims to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars by 2023 . “I wanted to be an astronaut since I was a kid and have always been fascinated by space and space travel,” says Rowena. “When I lived in Washington DC, I would force my parents to drive down to the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida to watch lift-offs. I thought Kalpana Chawla was the coolest person. When she died in 2003, I was in eighth grade. She was such an inspiration. So when I came to know that anyone above 18 could apply to this programme, I wasted no time”.
