Kitty Kane, 23, has applied to take a one-way trip to Mars.

Kitty Kane, 23, is among the 100,000 men and women who have volunteered to die on Mars.

Kane answered an open call for astronauts put out in April by Mars One, a company that says it will plant the first humans on Mars by 2023. There is no return flight.

The one-way mission doesn't scare Kane, who currently lives in Provo, Utah, a state that she correctly notes has a remarkable resemblance to the dusty red planet.

After watching Kane's endearing video application, we wanted to learn more about the spunky blonde and why she's looking forward to getting off this rock.
