Why would 400 people volunteer for a one-way trip to Mars?

They’re all aware that Sharon Stone isn’t up there, right? Could it be the Global Magnetic Shift, scaring them off?
No, apparently not:
An interplanetary trip to Mars could take as little as 10 months, but returning would be virtually impossible — making the voyage a form of self-imposed exile from Earth unlike anything else in human history.
What would inspire someone to volunteer? We’ve just found out.
A special edition of the Journal of Cosmology details exactly how a privately-funded, one-way mission to Mars could depart as soon as 20 years from now — and it prompted more than 400 readers to volunteer as colonists.
Well, colonization was people venturing off with no real idea what awaited them in the past, right?
