3 Russians, a Frenchman, a Chinese, and a Columbian walk in to a bar....

[Platapus]

Well not exactly a bar, but they will be walking in to a mars exploration spacecraft simulator and will spend 520 days in isolation as test subjects for psychological and physiological testing.

520 days. And we call ourselves hardcore simulator players. :O:


Personally, I see this as more a publicity stunt than a real experiment.

Without women involved in the experiment results and conclusions will not be representative nor sufficient. :nope:

Most frequently no woman gets involved in this kind of experience.
Unlike men, women have a stupidity detector naturally implemented.

Just a thought but can mars even be reached in 500 days?

Yes. 500 days is about the travel time (both ways) with the minimum delta V.

P.S. If we can send six men to Mars... why can't we send them all? :O:

Indeed, you have a point here.
It IS true, seeing how impassive yet decent you remain giving respectful answers to people constantly requesting you to post a photo of yourself. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/Panzer_Kamerad/smileys/vexe.gif :O:
