705 Mars One applicants remain — Scott is one of them

Mars One Infographic giving a breakdown of the 705 candidates for a one-way trip to Mars remain. Scott Stoll is one of them.

A quick Mars One astronaut update: Now there are less than 600 applicants left to be an astronaut with Mars One. Scott had a job interview today with Dr. Norbert Kraft, formerly of NASA. You’ll have to wait for the results on February 16th. He can’t talk about it yet.

* 2019: Scott’s profile is no longer available. I’m sad to report that Mars One has been declared bankrupt by a Swiss court. I do believe they had good intentions. I’ve made a not of the URL in case it returns.

** It also appears Outerplaces.com no longer exists :(
