Might be better to send astronauts from northern and southern polar regions. More likely to be adapted to long periods of isolation by social customs, more likely to not mind it, better overall.
So, basically, Scots, Norse, Inikvuk (Yukon/NWT), Alaskans, Russians, Finnish, Laplanders, Peruvians, Chileans. Oh, wait, skip the Russians, they'll turn all the food into vodka.
Depends. Let's say you have a landing crew of 20, and it's a one way mission. You can sleep 16 and keep 4 awake (good choice for sanity), with rotations every six months in staggered groups of two. Having only 2 awake usually leads to bad things, which is why a waking crew of 2 is part of every good SF space horror movie. If one goes crazy, everyone dies.
Last time I checked, the Constitution says nothing about corporations being people, or our private information being available without a court order, or our private musings being subject to debate by officials.
Just ask the NSA and the other four (five, actually, but you're not permitted to know about the fifth) mil agencies who get your data from the FBI without a silly Constitutional requirement.
Most of the great works people do were based on work they actually did when they started (early doctorate or masters work, beginning music, that kind of thing).
Then they fine tune it.
But the mastery came early. It just got sanitized and polished later.

Plus, bonus, the android could have a sub mission to return alien life to Earth, using humans as hosts.

More like cats which spend most of their day sleeping.
A lot of bone density loss is due to biological processes. Slow those down, slow down the bone density loss.
You can also wake them up and spin them in shift changeovers. Trust your friendly HAL 9000 to manage that.
Pro: reduced cellular activity means less oxidation stress, less probable impacts from zero G (electro stimulation of muscles instead).
Con: Might not wake up. Then again, it's a one way trip, so not that much of a risk.
Con: Might provide delicious incubation location for hitchhiking space aliens looking to adapt cellular structures to take over Mars and Earth.
Pro: No annoying sales calls.
Con: Computer AI will decide you're a flight risk.
It's not "deja vu", because that implies that at some point, NSA's illegal surveillance of us stopped at some point in time.
Originally we only tapped all your phone calls and telegrams.
Hard to tell, would depend on how it ramps up in large scale industrial application.
Interesting 85 percent absorption rate, though. Most of the PV growth in solar has been using cheaper materials, not efficiency of absorption.

Keep pushing, little man, but star systems will continue to slip through your fingers the more you squeeze.
Everyone knows we're using lab rats.
Only a gullible fool would believe we would use pigeons.
Apparently, breakingnews at seattletimes dot com is looking for first hand Hong Kong reports from protestors.
Also, Yahoo has been turned off in much of Hong Kong so that residents can't find out about what's going on.
Sit in Traffic? Um, we bike or walk here. You must be from California.
As to cops, that only applies if you're not white, for the most part.
Vagrants are what we call Californians who forgot to get a job first before moving to Seattle.
As to shop windows - that is Portland anarchists that do that. Not Seattleites. We turtle.
But we do have privacy, legally.
Camels are adapted to their environment.
Windows ... not at all. It provides a familiar interface to a collection of hardware and software.
By changing it so that customers hate it, MSFT make people want to "upgrade" even less.
Now excuse me, I have to wipe my touch screen again from spewing up my latte after hearing about WinDex.
next version is Win XX and then Win XXX, the Vin Diesel version.
The thing is, Windows 9 crashed and burned.
The film was destroyed, of course.
I didn't know Teslas had tanks? What do they store in them?
Bits and bytes.
They have a lot of potential energy.
It's called physics.
"Would you like to have me format all your cloud storage for easy access by the NSA?"
No.
"The process will be completed in 3 minutes."
But I said No.
"Oops, they copied your girlfriend's pics."
Uninstall Clippy Widget.
"Security has now been set to Tell The World Everything."

Serfs, not Citizens.
That's all you are.
In Washington State, our State Constitution guarantees your Right of Privacy, and even the feds can't follow you without a court issued warrant.
Freedom.
It's what's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Even Hong Kong knows that.
Do you want to be Free?
The weather's fine (as in we have water and energy) in Seattle.
Tesla are selling like solar powered hotcakes.
You're either part of the future or you're spending your money on Tag Hauer watches.
(bury the lede) is an old newspaper term, lede not lead.
Coming soon - the Microsoft Watch.
It has a paperclip for it's face, and asks you really stupid questions ...

Ummm.. Starbucks #1 is in the Pikes Place marketplace in Seattle Washington, not CIA HQ.... somebody got their wires crossed...
You mean Pike Place Market in Seattle.
There is no Pike's Place Market. There never has been.
And the first rule of CIA Starbucks is there is no CIA Starbucks.
