That's what I fear as well. And, eh, it's funded by privates... What if the TV show isn't as successful as they think it might be? Will they cut supplies for travellers, or are all costs already covered?

No doubt about all the dangers etc. But Mars-500 was an experiment or a training if you will, the Mars One crew will have 10 years of training. And yeah, there have already been astronauts on the ISS for 215 days, so around 7 months which equals the time the voyage to Mars takes. Eventhough it's not the same to float above the Earth and to fly to a totally foreign world you can't exit, I think for those that are really keen on doing this mission it won't be that difficult.
We just have dare something. Back then, people thought the Apollo missions to the moon were impossible, too. Even today there are people denying that we've been to the Moon.
I was always amazed by series like Starship Battlestar or Enterprise. The fact that we as human beings can finally explore space live with our own eyes and not some low pixel photos is just mindblowing imo. Imagine a world where you can make a trip around our solarsystem just as you can fly around Earth in no time, which almost no one would have thought you could a couple of hundred years ago. Technology advances quite fast, and I don't even want to know what technology the military possesses. (Note: the military is ALWAYS ahead of us...)

Only around 10 million are funded right now. They will fund the rest of the 6 billion once the reality tv show has started, and they will make it within 1-2 weeks according to some interview. (comparing to viewership of olympic games and the appollo missions on radio back then, also keeping in mind that the population has grown and the amount of people owning TVs).
Supply will still be sent, the astronauts will even get salary, worthless to them their relatives will keep it.
1kg of supply costs $ 100.000

People will be moving to the moon as well  It wouldn't be surprising if we did live there once upon a time, no place like home  Who knows maybe we still do, NASA have a good track record for photoshopping

They will train for 8-10 years, so if they go nuts they will do so during the training and then be excluded from the mission and when it comes to murder on Mars: Everything is being recorded, so I doubt they will kill someone up there infront of a 7 billion audience.

diffrence between you and me, i squat with 130kg(3x6) and bench 100kgs (2 times). You probably dont even know wtf is squat and how to properly bench, and bench like only the bar. Id rip out ur eyes and destroy ur face within seconds. So yeh, no problem for me to kill anyone without weapons, strangle them good with my hands, u would know if ud ever go to the gym that lifting weights, makes ur grip much stronger, becouse u need to hold monster weights and ur grip gets stronger and stronger. So yeh, do u even lift? nope, ur just fat and skinny at the same time
u mirin'?
