But Chang Tianxing, a space-lover from Shenzhen, Guangdong province, said, "I think such a task is only suitable for senior, experienced astronauts".
Exploring life on Mars, with everything starting from scratch, is mission impossible for us.
Pang Zhihao, a space expert, said the trip to Mars will require a four-member crew, including an experienced astronaut who can drive the spaceship.
Lansdorp said that by selling live coverage of the Mars mission, it will be easy to raise the $6 billion needed to fund the project.
"There will be 4 billion Internet users by 2023, much more than for the Olympic Games," Lansdorp said, adding that organisers of the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympics earned $1 billion a week.
But Pang said the project may cost more than Lansdorp imagines. Pang said the distance between Earth and Mars means the trip will take eight to nine months using existing technology. Pang also referred to the harsh environment on Mars, saying sandstorms there can last half a year and be six times stronger than severe typhoons on Earth.
Lansdorp said the first Mars settlers will be able to live on vegetables.
According to the project brochure, applicants will pay an administration fee based on their country's per capita GDP.
