But why without a return ticket? They aren't colonists for Mars; they're just a research mission.
It's in the contract they sign. As it simply would be not possible to bring them back. There's no rocket base on the Mars, after all. Nor would they be able to build one.

Sorry, but I simply cannot comprehend someone throwing his life away like that. That there even is serious talk about this... I know the world would not be the world we have today if it weren't for all those explorers that took risks... but this is something else. I rather stay home and enjoy my cinemas and theatre and musicals and travels to the UK! Yes, I'm shallow :)
So, the movie may be science fiction, but in a few years it could be very real.
