Volunteers Wanted For Simulated 520-Day Mars Trip

Posted by timothy on from the represent-slashdot-there dept.

anglico writes 'Starting in 2010, an international crew of six will simulate a 520-day round-trip to Mars, including a 30-day stay on the martian surface. In reality, they will live and work in a sealed facility in Moscow, Russia, to investigate the psychological and medical aspects of a long-duration space mission. ESA is looking for European volunteers to take part.'

    Like Republicans, specifically Teabaggers.

    Give them access to a radio with Rush Limbaugh and they will be fuming about democrats and the government so much that they WANT to stay away from society...

    Of course, with them wanting to carry guns on a spaceship, they would probably make a poor choice for astronauts.
