Permanent residence on Mars? Possible in 2022!




170000 people are willing to travel on Mars in 2022 to form a new race over there. The first team to set off will be 2 men and 2 women: another one will follow in two years’ time. In 2013 the Dutch company Mars One announced a 6 billion dollar project and started selecting the volunteering English speaking astronauts to be taught all necessary skills and tested for lengthy staying in enclosed rocket space. The minimum age required is 18, but Mars colonizers cannot be older than 65.
Fancy being one of them?

Obama signs bill to grant Nigerian student U.S. permanent residency

President Barack Obama just awarded a young Nigerian man with a very terrible genetic disease - Neurofibromatosis, permanent residence in the US and as such access to a US medical school. This hardly ever passes congress but because of his peculiar situation, it worked.  26th year old Victor Chukwueke came to the US eleven years ago to undergo treatment for massive face tumors and lived in Michigan on an expired visa. He graduated from a state university and wanted to attend a medical school but needed to have permanent residency for that to happen.

Private bills, which only applies to one person and mostly focus on immigration, are rarely approved. Victors is the only one to pass in US Congress in two years. Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes massive life-threatening tumors to the face.
