More than 100,000 people have applied to the Mars One project, which hopes to colonize the planet in 2023, according to CNN. 

There’s still time if you want to apply, but you will need to submit a video.

From the Mars One website: 

The Mars One mission plan consists of cargo missions and unmanned preparation of a habitable settlement, followed by human landings. In the coming years, a demonstration mission, communication satellites, two rovers and several cargo missions will be sent to Mars. These missions will set up the outpost where the human crew will live and work.

The mission design takes into account the expansion of the human colony where a new crew arrive every two years.
