Mars mission student: 'I’d rather go and not come back than not go at all'
By James Edgar - Tuesday 28 January 2014 - FROM TELEGRAPH.CO.UK
An astrophysics student shortlisted for a one-way mission to Mars has said the prospect of
never seeing her family again is “not a deal-breaker”.
Gillian Finnerty, 21, is one of just 1,058 people selected from 202,000 applicants for the Mars
One project, which hopes to create a human colony on the red planet in about 10 years. The
current shortlist includes 36 British men and women.
For Miss Finnerty, from Tholthorpe in North Yorkshire, who dreamed of being an astronaut
when she left school, being part of the first manned mission to the red planet is akin to
emigrating to the other side of the world.
Asked if she thought it really would be a one-way trip, she said: “It makes me think it’s more
likely to happen, because it’s much more logical. It does scare me a little, but it’s not going to
put me off. I’d rather go and not come back than not go at all.”
Miss Finnerty found out by email that she had been shortlisted for Mars One, a privatelyfunded project set up in Holland which aims to establish permanent human life on the red
planet by 2025.
The space enthusiast, who is in the final year of her Master’s degree in physics and
astrophysics at Sheffield University, said she hopes to write her first research paper on
another planet or possibly find evidence of previous life on Mars.
She shrugged off concerns that she may never again see her loved-ones in the flesh if she
wins a place on the shuttle.
“We do get to send videos home and get videos back, so they get to see how I’m doing, It’s a
sad fact, but it’s not going to stop me.”
Miss Finnerty will be tested over seven years for her suitability to become one of just 24
Mars-dwellers.
