This still looks like a giant scam to me. Not because their goal is set high, but because they have yet to release viable technical information.
Just take a look at the founders ama on reddit[1] from a year ago.
Wait Lockheed Martin is working with them? I had the impression the project was not being taken seriously by professionals. Did that change lately?
This exactly what I was wondering. I'm guessing that if Mars One brings them a pile of cash to their door, Lockheed will be happy to do some design work.
How could a mission like this cost just $400K? I'm no rocket scientist, but that amount looks WAY too little.
