We need to be able to make those "sacrifices" the same way early explorers did when trying to find the "Indies" by crossing the Atlantic ocean.
I think it could work if we start dumping crap load of equipment (digging and construction, and prefab habitation modules and food/water) on Mars for them to survive for a couple of years.
I'd rather be phishing!

I'd love to have gone but will be far too old by the time they raise sufficient money and then build out the technology they'll need - at least 20-30 years if they get lucky. NASA will likely get there first (2030).

I'm dubious given the parent companies links to Endemol, that there really is a mission to Mars. The words stunt and publicity come to mind. I leave the astute reader to work out which order they think the words should be in.

Yeah, there is something very scam-ish about the whole thing

I think men could live some years on mars. The biggest problem is water, but it was found some. If they have big solar panels or a nuclear battery/generator than is the energy problem solved and maybe the can plant some alga or or plants to eat. Or they send a "Care" rocket like care packets after the war. 
Biggest problems are health issues: psychological or physical. There isnt a dentist around for 100.00 miles

I've got a list readied of people I'd like to volunteer.
Seriously with any new and unknown venture there are risks. If I was young and had the opportunity I don't know whether I'd do it or not, would certainly be enticing though.

Ridiculous idea. If they want to take a trip, it would be easier to break out the 'shrooms.

I am sure the committee that reviews the applicants, have been inundated with crazy/suicidal people, who want to go where no man has gone before. I would be surprised if they hadn't yet.

How do you keep plugging away at a solo or open source project that doesn't have any monetary compensation when the "proof of concept" part is finished?

Any tips/ideas?

Not sure if this will connect with you, but here goes. My HOPE project, for example, the proof of concept was done in a week, but then I realized what cool things I could do with it, pulling in other technologies, subjects, and so forth. Plus, there's always the arc of taking a PoC and polishing it into a professional application, something I enjoy doing as well.
I experienced the same thing with MyXaml -- in that case, the PoC took an hour or two, but there were a lot of interesting directions to take the concept, polish the code, write wrappers for .NET classes that didn't support deserialization, add some automation, etc.
So, I suspect you can think of several "arcs" that you could explore to continue work on the project.
And, what is the project? Got a link?

Project is a CQRS on Azure framework and proof of concept website but the only link I have so far is a holding page.

We Rastafari make soup with soluble saab
Haile Selassie looks a bit like Bouillabaisse?
Remove the letters of soluble saab from bouillabaise and you are left with two i's, so We Rastafari must equal ii somehow.
