Mars One announced the start of a fundraising campaign

On December 10, 2013, the arrogant project Mars One, so popular with us, announced the start of a fundraising campaign.

According to the project participants, the funds raised by the campaign will have to provide the research and development necessary to launch the first unmanned stationary platform. Its purpose will be the study of the ground. Recall the launch itself is scheduled for 2018.
Also in the message says that the design of the first mission engaged in the company Lockheed Martin. This organization has already managed to make a significant contribution to space exploration.
Under the cut - analysis of bonuses and promotions that we offer the authors of the project, as well as voiced video ad.


The sounded video of the campaign launch announcement:


A total of $ 400,000 is planned. Of these, $ 80,000 will be spent on the construction of a satellite (by the British company Surrey Satellite Technology ltd.), Which will be used for communication. Another $ 256,000 will be needed to create a research stationary platform designed based on the NASA Phoenix probe. The device will study the Martian soil, will look for water and conduct university research. Lockheed Martin, an American company that has worked for NASA in all successful Martian missions, will be engaged in its creation.
So, what kind of rewards do Mars One executives promise us for materially supporting their campaign? (in brackets the preliminary date of receipt of bonuses is indicated)
