Women of China: Chinese American woman on a course to go to Mars

Sue Ann PienWhen I first read this story in Women of China, I thought to myself is this real?

Apparently it is, or at least the dream is real.

Sue Ann Pien, 34, of Los Angeles has applied for the Mars One trip to Mars.

The non-profit foundation hopes to establish a permanent human colony on Mars in 2025.

Four applicants will be selected to be the first settlers on the Red Planet.

More than 200,000 people registered for the trip, but only 1058 were selected to go on to the second round.

Pien is one of those applicants.

In her application, she says:

“Like most people applying I’m certain I am amongst a group of incredibly idealistic yet courageously passionate human beings who are willing to put their foot where their mouths are. These people are called leaders and I would describe myself as such. I have always believed space is the next frontier for humankind and was born with my eyes fixed into the galaxies. It did not seem such a far off dream, as both of my parents worked in the aerospace industry. Astrocamp was my first camp.”

You can read more about Pien and the application process on Women of China.

You can hear Pien describe why she is applying in the short video below.
