Mars One, a private company that wants to send people on a one-way trip to Mars, has faced wave after wave of brutal criticism. Experts criticize its too-low budget, as-yet--nonexistent technology, and general unpreparedness for a mission with so many life-threatening risks.
Last year, a group of MIT engineering students published a critical review of the company's mission plan. Two of those students just faced off against Mars One's CEO, Bas Lansdorp, during a public debate at the Mars Society Conference on Aug. 13.
