I don't believe Mars One will succeed in the timeframe they suggest, maybe mid to late 2020s.

Have anyone here heard of the 2045 Initiative? There a group made up of some of the smartest people (funded by a Russian Billionaire) on this planet trying to by the year 2035 download the human consciousness into a robotic avatar. And by 2025 they want to be able to transplant a human brain into a robotic Avatar. So we might not even need VR since if we can simply hook up the human brain to a computer we could just download and play the game in sort of a dream like state. lol Anyways these next 10 years or so really do hold some amazing advancements in technology. I really hope since Quantum computing is here that a consumer model will be for sale in the next 10-20 years.
I don't believe in quantum computing either, and if we succeed to make that beast not needing enormous amounts of cooling It would be really long term. A photon computer (a computer that uses light) running at petaherz frequencies (the frequency of visible light) would be able to give us 100,000,000x the computing power of today, and can really be done in the next 15-20 years. 100 million times faster computers would really make enormous and detailed VR worlds as well as advanced AI real :D
