Mars One Announces Chance To Win Two-Way Trip to Space<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mars One launches the Ticket To Rise Campaign to aid the <\/em>
\n2015 Earth mission and 2018 Mars missions. <\/em><\/p>\n

Amersfoort, 4th September 2014<\/strong> \u2013 Today Mars One announces their Ticket To Rise<\/em><\/strong> campaign (http:\/\/urgencynetwork.com\/marsone<\/a>) to give space-enthusiasts a chance to win a private trip to space. Participants earn entries into the space trip drawing in exchange for joining the campaign.<\/p>\n

The campaign will provide funding for a 2015 Earth mission, which is a simulation project to replicate the future Mars human settlement here on Earth, as well as the 2018 Mars mission to Mars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mars One Ticket To Rise campaign will reside on the Urgency Network platform, in partnership with Motherboard, VICE Media\u2019s science and tech channel. The Urgency Network provides campaign supporters opportunities to earn entries to win incredible experiences, purchase reward items, and complete actions like donating, watching videos, and sharing content. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are enthusiastic about the Ticket To Rise campaign and the opportunity to send a lucky participant to space aboard the XCOR Lynx Mark II spacecraft\u201d, commented Bas Lansdorp, Co-founder and CEO of Mars One. \u201cThis campaign fits well into our strategy of building awareness and momentum for space travel. Most importantly, it gives our passionate community a free chance to win a space flight and spread the word to others about our mission to the Red Planet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always been motivated by projects that seek to accomplish the impossible,\u201d added Urgency Network Co-founder, Brandon Deroche. \u201cIn our eyes, there is no greater opportunity on Earth than giving people the chance to leave it, so we\u2019re honored to support Mars One\u2019s mission to colonize the Red Planet through Ticket To Rise.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Ticket To Rise will introduce brand new, never-before-seen Mars One gear and products throughout the campaign. To earn an entry into the contest, participants can visit http:\/\/urgencynetwork.com\/marsone<\/a> and choose to donate or purchase Mars One items.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
