This and only this.

Fuck this guys treachery, deceit and fraud. While global private front-runners is seemingly the next required step in space exploration, playing off the heartstrings of space lovers and the sensationalism of the potential headlines is a shit thing to do to fraud people out of $400k in a shit indiegogo campaign. You have contributed absolutely nothing to the discussion, let alone the advancement of space technologies and space exploration. MarsOne has added nothing to the discourse except PR bullshit. Your 'road map' is laughable but not nearly as laughable as your cost estimate of $6B. The Apollo program ran $23.9B ($47.15B 2013 UDS if adjusted for inflation). While technology has become cheaper, the development challenges are far from inexpensive.

I found this especially ridiculous:

Mars One has visited several major aerospace companies around the world to discuss its plan, and the hardware components that are needed to implement the plan. For each component, Mars One has found at least one potential supplier.

tl;dr you and your 'foundation' have contributed nothing to the discourse. I hope this can be shown for the undeliverable fraud that it is.

As many states allow citizens/campaigns/organizations to purchase the full state voter registry - are there any organizations that monitor and track potential voter purges?

If not, is there a legal roadblock stopping something like that from existing? I know not all states have this available, but some (Pennsylvania, Florida, etc) have that data available and audits of that data would be helpful in understanding legal and illegal voter purges, rather than expecting states to be honest.

Thanks for the AMA!

My niece has down syndrome. She just turned one and is my favorite person in the entire world. Do you have any suggestions on how, as an uncle, I can help her learn and grow?
