One-Way Tickets To Mars Beginning in 2022

A Dutch company known as Mars One will send colonizers to Mars beginning 2022. U.S. applicants may apply for $38 via video application. This journey will be a one-way journey, so the volunteers will never return to Earth. "It's likely that there will be a crematorium," said CEO Bas Lansdorp, "It's up to the people on Mars to decide what to do with their dead." The biggest obstacles are the financial ones, but the $38 fee may cover most costs. If the volunteers arrive after seven months of travel, they will face a long, lonely life of danger. It will also smell bad because showering with water is no longer an option.

Man Protests Being Deported

A man in Leigh, Greater Manchester spent more than 16 hours in a tree. He was in the tree because he was protesting his deportation. Investigators say he climbed the tree around 8:40 pm and spent the night in the tree. Eyewitnesses say that firefighters tried to talk the man out of the tree but the man only climbed higher into the tree. Around 12:40 the next day the man was helped out of the tree into a aerial platform and then detained under the Mental Health Act. The whole street, Holden Road, was closed throughout this incident. The man's name has not been released.

Now We Need An Arrow Control Ban

Tough-guy bouncer James Bowling was shot by an arrow in the shoulder. He describes the sound of the arrow flying out of the woods as a sizzling sound. The 36-year-old strip club bouncer was pierced by an arrow as he checked his phone. "My first theory would be that it was a disgruntled customer," said James to ABC affiliate WATE 6. Burly-B, as he is knowm on the job, was shot around 3:30 a.m. As he felt the pain radiate down, he pulled the arrow out and kept on working. He said he would like to crack the person who made him the bull's-eye.
