If a Jersey City woman gets her dream job, the moving costs will be astronomical.

Really.

Cassandra Morphy, 32, is one of 100 finalists for a mission to colonize Mars, News4 New York reported. And we're not talking about the tiny borough in Pennsylvania.

A Dutch non-profit, Mars One, has come up with an ambitious plan to colonize the red planet by the year 2025 and has narrowed a list of more than 200,000 applicants to the final 100. Mars One officials say 24 will ultimately be chosen for the initial trip.

"I think I first wanted to go to Mars when I read 'Red Mars' when I was like 14 or so," Morphy, a data analyst, told News4. "It sounds like the most amazing place to go."
