SASKATOON – A Saskatoon man is one step closer to making his dream of travelling to space a reality.
Justin Semenoff applied to go on a 2023 space mission with the Dutch-led “Mars One” project.

If he is accepted and the mission takes flight, Semenoff would spend the rest of his life with 24 other astronauts settling a colony on the red planet.
Over 200,000 people applied for the privately-funded project. The list is now down to 1,058.
The mission clearly states that those sent to Mars will never be able to return to earth.
Semenoff is an army combat engineer with the Canadian Armed Forces.
He says making it to the next round is a huge honour for him.
