Summary: This article answers the basic questions surrounding the Mars One Mission, which is currently referred to as a project. The mission is to send a select and small group of humans to Mars and observe their survival, as well as gather information about the planet and its atmosphere. The mission is funded by sponsorship and donations, and theories of a reality show to fund the project are being talked about. The article also goes over a bit of the selection process of the space-travel hopefuls (who will never return, and their survival could be anywhere from a few seconds to a maximum few months).
Opinion - Why should the World hear this? - I think the world should definitely hear about the Mars One Mission because it hasn't been covered by the media, and I believe it deserves it. Learning about outer space and completely different environments encourages people to open their minds and fills them with a sense of awe. As someone who cries when I see more than like, two stars in the sky space has always fascinated me and I've always been frustrated that it was not a well-funded frontier, or a well discussed topic. "Born too late to explore the earth, born too early to explore space" is phrase that gets thrown around quite a bit, and its truthfulness becomes evident when learning about this Mission.
Word: acclimatise

Thanks for sharing your topic with us. Take a look at your last paragraph again. "As someone who cries..." is a run-on that can be easily fixed. Also, you choose an interesting quote to add at the end, but do not expand upon this. I challenge you add on to this or find a different place that this quote would better fit. On a side note, I like your photo;)
