    Trip to Mars?

    And no, it's not a long awaited follow up to the classic Acen tune from way back when...

    The European Space Agency (ESA) on Tuesday called for applications for one of the most demanding human experiments in space history: a simulated trip to Mars in which six "astronauts" will spend 17 months in an isolation tank on Earth.

    it'll be like that experiment a few years back, can't remember where it was, Arizona i think, but basically 4 people were put in a dome for a year with no contact from the outside world to see how they would survive. Someone cut their finger early on or something and came out. what a waste of time.

    I'd do it if I was actually going to Mars, but not just as an experiment here on earth.

    Can't think of a more pointless use of 17 months.

    If they made it into a TV show they'd have plenty of fame hungry volunteers.
