Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right.

Its name is Public Opinion. It is held in reverence. It settles
everything. Some think it’s the voice of god.

Volunteers wanted for trip to 'Mars'
Tuesday, June 19, 2007
CBC News

The European Space Agency is looking for people who would like to go on
a pretend trip to Mars — for about a year and a half.
The 520-day experiment involves a crew of six living in sealed modules
at the Institute of Biomedical Problems in Moscow.

The simulated mission to Mars is to gather data for future missions to
the real Red Planet shown here.
(European Space Agency)
Promising a program "as close to a real Mars mission as possible," the
space agency plans to simulate a 250-day trip to Mars, 30 days to
experience the planet and 240 days to make it back home.
Weightlessness and radiation are not included, but the simulated
out-of-planet experience offers isolation, confinement, crowding, lack
of privacy, high workload, boredom with available food, and limited
communication with family, friends and mission control.

Still keen?

You might be just what the agency needs if you are:
• Between ages 25 and 50.
• In good health.
• Highly motivated.
• Fluent in either English or Russian, preferably both.
• No taller than six-foot-one (185 cm).
• Experienced in medicine, biology, engineering and the like.
• A non-smoker with no addictions.
• Willing to be a medical and psychological test subject.
• A national and resident of a select list of countries — including
Canada.
People with mental disorders, special diets, those considered too fat or
too thin, or currently in jail need not apply.


While a monetary amount is not specified, the agency says anyone
successfully completing the entire study will "receive fixed
compensation that is in line with international standards for
participation in clinical studies."
Applications, from serious candidates only, are being accepted until
Sept. 30. The mission is expected to begin as early as May.



I nominate Lex - he could write about it AND possibly find his Russian
bride...
