Well if I was 76, I would be up for this also. She will be 86 by the time the launch happens so why the hell not eh? If it was free, would you go? Well so far more than 160,000 people have signed up. Not sure I could do it tbh, 7 months in a confined space and then if you spend long enough on Mars you would not be able to survive on earth any more due to the gravity being so much lighter the changes to your muscle, circulatory system and bone density that would make it impossible. Very brave people imho

... That's assuming she's still alive in 2026

 

I'd do it in a heartbeat though, it'd be awesome.
