Tioga womanon the
short list for a trip to Mars
By Madelyn Beck
..... Of Tioga tribune
Danyle "Dee" Sanders says she's
not afraid to blast off on a trip to
Mars.
Danyle "Dee" Sanders loves to
tell stories.
Growing up in Wyoming, Sanders
said she made up an imaginary uncle
and told stories about his conquests.
As an office manager at Tioga Ma-
chine Shop, the 39-year-old is still
telling stories about trips to Europe
and Japan.
However, there is a chance her
greatest travel story is yet to come-
how she became one of the first hu-
mans on Mars.
Mars One is a non-profit organi-
zation with a goal to "establish a per-"
manent human settlement on Mars."
In April 2013, Mars One com-
menced its world-wide Astronaut Se-
lection Program. It was first
announced at press conferences held
in New York and Shanghai. Sanders
applied -- along with 200,000 other
people.
Mars One released a list of 1,058
remaining candidates Dec. 2013.
Sanders was on the list.
"I was surprised," she said.
The criteria included some physi-
cal restrictions, but focused on a self-
driven mentality and ability to work
with others.
Sanders easily passed the physi-
cal tests. She also has a psychology
degree, giving her an edge on the
mental evaluation.
The next step was to get a physi-
cal check-up and create a video pro-
file to post online.
Sanders finished both -- with a
little aid from one of her sons, who
shot the video.
Last month, Mars One announced
705 candidates remaining. Of those,
313 were originally from the Ameri-
cas With others from Europe, Asia,
Africa and Oceania.
Sanders made the second cut.
However, if selected, she would have
to leave behind everything -- for-
ever.
According to Mars One, there is
not sufficient technology for a return
trip from space.
"It's a big decision," said Sanders.
"It's not to be taken lightly."
Sanders has nine children in her
household, seven of whom are her
own. She came to Tioga 10 years ago
to be close to the family of her now
ex-husband, but stayed so her chil-
dren wouldn't have to change
schools.
She said her teen boys are more

than willing to see her go, but her
youngest, at nine years old, is not
quite ready.
If selected, she won't actually
leave Earth until 2024.
This is because Mars One plans to
do extensive training.
Ultimately, they will choose 24
people, 12 of each sex.
The first group sent will be two
men and two women.
Mars One plans to have a liveable
Martian facilityin place by 2022, in-
cluding a system to pull water and
oxygen from the planet's soil. Mars
One also has plans for establishing
communication between the station
and Earth, but Sanders said leaving
would still be difficult.
In addition, she said it would be
worth the sadness because the new
colony could give valuable informa-
tion back to people living on Earth;
though it's not clear how just yet.
Sanders said the final selection
will be made following personal in-
terviews, though the date when each
will be conducted is still unknown.
As of June 2, Mars One announced a
production company it has chosen to
cover the interview process. They
hope to be starting the interviews
soon.
By 2015, the final six groups of
four will be selected to do training. It
will become their full-time job. If she
isn't selected, Sanders said she'd still
support the mission and try to get the
word out about it.
However, if she is chosen,
Sanders said she would be ready.
"There's that notion of being in-
timidated by the unknown," said
Sanders. "But I'm not scared."
