This woman is in the running for a one-way trip to Mars

Next week, Maggie Lieu will find out if she'll have to give up everything for a one-way trip to Mars.

The 24-year-old, who's doing a PHD in astronomy and space at the University of Birmingham, is one of the Britons shortlisted for the Mars One mission.

If she gets through the latest round she'll spend the next 10 years training for the project.

It aims to send teams of four to the red planet every two years from 2025 until 40 people are living there.

It's one of several projects aiming to put humans on Mars, but this one plans to select the final candidates with the help of a reality TV show.

But there's no way back if they get to go. So we had some big questions for Maggie at a planetarium in Birmingham.
