Mars One's mission is to send a group of colonists to Mars, and they will live there permanently. There first part of this quest is selecting the people to go, then putting them through training. Then they launch a rover to the planet to find the perfect area to build. They also send a satellite to the red planet which can communicate with ones orbiting Earth and basically give them interstellar internet. Then, they send the materials that they need to the planet for the rover construct into the civilization. Finally, the base is operational and they send the first group of humans. If all goes well, the next group of humans will come join the pioneers of interplanetary living. But getting those first 8 people to the planet will cost a low, low price of only 10... billion dollars. I'm being sarcastic, just so you know, people who can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
This is actually a plausible idea, since many lakes and other bodies of water have been found on mars. By filtering the water out of the soil and using it for water or splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen, The astronauts will be able to breathe.
Hope you learned something,
