Application To Go To Mars In 2023: What Are The Qualifications To Needed?

I don't qualify: Way too old:

The age range for candidates will be limited. While the exact upper limits have not yet been determined, the lower age limit for applicants to apply for the selection program will be 18 years. By the time this person would land on Mars as an astronaut, he or she would be 28 years of age.

It's fine, they've not stated an upper limit!

Given the one-way nature of the journey I would have thought older folk would be better anyway - those who have no regrets about leaving Earth forever.

It's fine, they've not stated an upper limit!...

If everything runs to time I will be 61 when the first astronauts arrive on Mars. I think that is probably too old.

Agree with you about the one way nature of it though. You would have to be absolutely sure that you wanted to go. No changing your mind after take off...
