Great achievement by a Sikh woman

[TejS]

Jasleen Josan, the first Sikh women in the world to undertake a Mars mission

I think this is a great achievement, and is ideally great exposure for our community on the global stage. We need more people like her (not necessarily all going to Mars ), but branching out into other professional fields.

Thoughts?

Mars 2030 Mission by NASA.

Is this a one-way mission? (The suicide one)

No, the suicide mission is the Mars 2020 Mission. This is the two-way Mission, Mars 2030 Mission.

There's a mission to mars on 2020? wow thats pretty close which company it doing it doubt it would be nasa.

And great achievement by the sister so far so congrats to her. Nasa astronauts have to go through a very tough and high criteria process to get selected.

The Mars 2020 Mission is by MarsONE, and not by NASA. 

It's definitely a great achievement for not only her, but one for our community as well.

Yes proud moment for the community hopefully she will get selected to go if not at least she inspires other Sikhs to aim high.

I need to read up more on MarsONE. Elon musk is also planning some sort of mars mission is that his company i wonder.

No MarsONE is independent from Elon Musk, although they are planning to use his SpaceX space shuttles to get to Mars. I don't think they'll reach the 2020 goal tbh, so I'm assuming the 2030 Mars NASA mission might be the first human expedition to Mars, and having a Sikh female onboard makes me even more excited for the prospect of having a Sikh be one of the first individuals to land on Mars.

Yes the 2020 does seem unrealistic but if they manage to do it would be an amazing achievement for humanity.

I remember years ago they said by 2005 there would be a colony on mars but they never achieved it I think this time around there is better technology and more serious commitment and investment to make sure that goal is achieved.
