In spite of the financial demise of the company behind the ambitious plans to colonise the red planet, New Zealand Mars One applicant, Saeed Ghandhari, is hopeful the project will still go ahead. He was one of hundreds of thousands who put themselves forward to be part of the project which involved a one way trip to Mars. In the past two weeks the company behind the project has filed for bankruptcy and there's doubts it was ever a legitimate project. Some have called it fraud. Saeed Ghandhari speaks to Jim Mora about why he's not giving up his dream just yet.
