"LE BOURGET, France (AFP) - 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. "

lol

"Assuming that Mars and Earth are favourably aligned, with their closest distance of 56 million kilometres (35 million miles), it would take 250 days to get there, 30 days spent on site to conduct experiments and 240 days for the return, said Baranov."

so what do they get out of it?

"They will get paid 120 euros (158 dollars) a day, said Marc Heppener of ESA's Science and Application Division."

money well spent...

Meh, that's a little over $80,000 in that time though. Not sure I'd want to give away a year and a half of my life though unless it was really going to Mars.

actually, it would be worth over $80,000 due to 'free' living expenses, but is it worth it? not for me.

Like a world war were everybody got killed? Then you come home from Mars in your pod and be greeted by no one....But at least you got a lot of moneY!

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.

There was a movie about something similar in 1996 with Stephen Baldwin (Bio Dome).

Or you could get a real job and earn a lot more than that...

Honestly, you'd go insane. It's not even that much money, I'd be wanting closer to €500k to do that to myself.

Bubbalo would be dead in the first 24 hours.

There are two different things:

A: Usmarine will kill Bubbalo in 24 seconds.
B: Usmarine will not kill Bubbalo, Bubbalo would provide to much entertainment, kinda like a retard in some old castle.

C: Usmarine commits suicide rather than be locked up with the ultra liberal Bubbalo.

Never. What would be the point of that? Killing Bubbalo is easier, and anyways, Usmarine lives.

You never know. Bubbalo's super liberal powers may have been more than he could bare.

Free parts for your comp and everything you could ever want, would get lonely though.
