Space exploration has been trying to get itself more and more commercialized with the idea of sending ordinary citizens to space. Mars One Ventures was a company that wanted to be the first to colonize Mars and they had very elaborate and expensive advertising campaigns for the venture. But currently, the idea of sending people who have not been professionally trained is farfetched to say the least. It's one of those crazy endeavors where you shoot for the moon and hope it lands. Unfortunately for Mars One, it crashed long before it even launched.
