Mars One.
First of all, I would like to congratulate you for the initiative of the project, which I consider to be of great relevance for human and scientific development. Secondly, I would like to introduce myself and reveal the reason that made me write to you.
My name is Olivia Wood, your last year student of mechanical engineering and after reading several materials and having participated in several debates about Mars One I would like to apply to be one of the volunteers to participate in this project.
My desire to be part of the colony established on Mars arose from an immense curiosity to observe remote and unknown places, in addition to observing how the machinery used to establish this colony would work in an environment so different from the land. This desire made me research what factors were necessary for candidates for colonists on Mars, I believe that I fit most of the requirements and that is why I want to propose my candidacy for this post.
I have a history of athlete who has been with me since childhood, this allows me to have a high physical endurance, in addition, I do medical exams periodically, I eat well and I practice exercises which allows my health to help me withstand the weather that the off-earth environment can provide. I am also a very controlled, calm and patient person, which allows me to live well under pressure, in an environment with limited space and resources. I have no difficulties in living with people other than myself and I prefer to resolve possible conflicts through a calm and peaceful conversation, which I believe to be an essential feature in a colony on Mars. Last, but not least, I have the courage to go and the enormous desire to live such a great experience.
I look forward to your response and thank you in advance for your time.
Kind regards,
Olivia Wood.
