In an online article entitled "Screening from 100 to 24," Norbert Kraft, Chief Medical Officer of Mars One, outlines rounds three and four for candidate selection. According to Kraft, round three will take five days and concentrate on group dynamics challenges and observe the candidates as they break up into teams of 10 to 15 and learn to work together solving problems.

After the pool has been reduced to 40, they will then move onto round four where they'll be required to spend nine days in an isolation unit and their numbers will be further cut to 30. This will be followed by a four-hour Mars Settler Suitability Interview that will see the remaining candidates reduced to a pool to 24, who will be will be offered full-time employment with Mars One.

Announced in 2012, the Mars One project aims to land four colonists on Mars in 2025, where they would remain for the rest of their lives with additional colonists sent as Earth and Mars come back into the right launch position every 18 months or so. Living in habitats set up previously by unmanned rovers, the colonists would live off the land for their raw materials, while being the focus of a reality television show beamed back to Earth.

In Roman times people were fed to lions for entertainment. In the 21st century, it's this.

    True, as much as I love the idea to colonize Mars (see my sig), the "Mars one" is a scam. They took a lot of money and didn't even talk with spaceship industry about which ship they would supposedly use. Heck, they just take money and do nothing.
