Over 200,000 people from around the world have volunteered to leave their life on earth behind  to become part of the first human colony on Mars.  The project titled Mars One aims to settle humans on the red planet by 2023. Current State’s Emanuele Berry found out that the people who will man this mission are everyday people like Michigan native, Erica Meszaros.
