　　Mars One,a group that plans to send humans on a one-way trip to Mars,has announced its final 100 candidates.We spoke to two of the British hopefuls.

　　Alison Rigby,35,from East London

　　For Rigby,a chemistry graduate,who currently works as a secondary school lab technician,it is a lifelong passion for space that led to her decision to apply.

　　“Generally the reaction has been pretty positive from my friends and family since I told them I was down to the final 100,but it’s going to be difficult for my mum.I haven’t told her yet,”she says.Rigby explains that when she first applied in 2017,her mum told her she didn’t want her to go.

　　“I am doing this for something better,which will hopefully benefit more people than just staying at home and keeping my mum happy.As for the risk,of course I am scared.It’s something that has never been done before.But we are all going to die,and it’s important what you do before you die,”she says.

　　Clare Weedon,27,from Kent,England

　　“I applied because I want to be able to say I made a difference to the future of mankind,”explains Weedon,a 27-year-old manager.

　　Weedon doesn’t have a background in science,but she is driven by the chance.Weedon’s brother also applied but was not selected for the final 100.“My brother is pretty envious,but the rest of my friends and family are proud and excited.”The only exception is Weedon’s boyfriend,who doesn’t want her to go.
