Cosmonaut Krikalev: Suicides will not be allowed on Mars

The sensational Mars One project - a one - way flight to Mars is a frivolous idea associated with the PR of specific people.
It has nothing to do with the scientific study of the red planet.
This was stated by cosmonaut pilot Sergey Krikalev, commenting on the plans of private cosmonauts to colonize Mars, remaining there forever.
"I have already spoken about people who are so motivated that they are ready to fly one way.
I will say directly: those who rushed into this project with such enthusiasm are unlikely to receive medical permission, because a tendency to suicide is the first contraindication for participating in such serious programs.
From the point of view of cosmonautics, it is unacceptable to think about not returning to Earth," Krikalev explained.
At the same time, the cosmonaut noted that there are serious projects in Russia related to the exploration of the Moon and Mars.
"There was a big discussion about flights to the Moon and Mars.
The direction was chosen and approved with the signature of the president, back in 2013.
According to him, the first step beyond the near Earth orbit will be a flight to the moon and the creation of a near lunar and supralunar infrastructure.
Mars and the study of asteroids is the next prospect, which will be implemented both in a manned way and unmanned, " said Sergey Krikalev.
Discussing with a correspondent of the Federal News Agency the topic of psychological expertise and the adequacy of people conquering the sky, Krikalev noted that in Russia psychological examinations are carried out in the strictest mode.
Recalling the tragedy with the plane that crashed in France, the expert said that astronauts are checked much more strictly than pilots of civilian ships, and tests with a centrifuge and a pressure chamber are only part of the total volume of checks.
"Even a small flaw that does not prevent a person from fully living and being active on Earth, in space, in a long term stressful situation, can become a serious problem.
Given that there will be no professional doctor nearby, the initial level of health should be very high, " the cosmonaut noted.
Mars One is a private international project led by Bas Lansdorp, an inventor and entrepreneur from the Netherlands.
It involves landing a colony on the surface of Mars and broadcasting the life of the settlers live.
The flight of the first crew is scheduled for 2024.
The project implementation began in 2013, when the process of selecting flight participants started.
At the third stage, launched in February this year, there are 90 candidates left - 39 people from America, 31 from Europe, 15 from Asia, 8 from Oceania and 7 from Africa.
24 people should reach the final.
The flight will last 210 days.
