8 Utahns among finalists to live on Mars forever :thud:
-----------------------------------
The current pool of candidates will be reduced to 40, who would then undergo several months of training.
Finally, four would be selected to land on Mars in 2023. Every two years after, four more astronauts would be added to the colony.
There are also many dangers that come with living on Mars. Candidates said meteorites, radiation, and extended amounts of time in reduced gravity are risks they're willing to take.
