Mars One , a Netherlands-based NGO is dedicated to taking humans to Mars by 2023. More than that, this forward-thinking group actually envisions a human settlement on the Red Planet. Mars One's vision is stupendous, and I, for one, hope to be around to see it turned into reality.

For more information go to http://mars-one.com/en/about-mars-one/about-mars-one; better yet, sign up for their periodic updates, and keep your eyes on the heavens.
