MOSCOW - A group of Russian space experts on Friday announced an ambitious plan to send a six-man crew to Mars within a decade, a project it said would cost only $3.5 billion. Russian space officials dismissed the project as nonsense.

Alexandrov didn't explain how his firm would raise the funds, but said one of the reasons he thought such a mission would be profitable was it could involve a "reality" television show.

Woo Hoo! Now you can be the first to be voted off the planet....

I've always thought that we need to commercialize space...that's always the driving force behind exploration and colonization. A reality tv show is rediculous at 1st glance, but, if it can pay the way, why not? In the end, anything that will get us back on track I'm all for.
