Manned Mars Mission in the works!!!!

Space pioneers wanted for 520-day Mars experiment.
"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."

Ok the day has come finally. I saw this article and thought it was ATS worthy of discussion. Seems the wheels are turning on a planned Manned mission to mars. The European space agency is looking to start testing the concept of going to mars. I am curious to see how humans will react to being isolated for that long a time.

Let the discussion begin.
