would really suck if you were the only chick on that ship with a dozen of other guys

But just imagine how many chicks you would get when you get back to earth.

Suck is the key word here

^ hahah exactly what i was thinking lol

520 days to get to mars, by time they get back earth won't even exist due to 2012.

leave em a deck of cards...some poker chips...few board games...and a shit load of porn...cant be that hard haha

induced coma?

maybe then they recolonize, futurama style

Umm yeah

Kirk

they need a freaking holodeck. That's where space entertainment's at in the 24th century

if i knew it would step on mars after 520 days i would be able to endure it no problem, but 520 days for an experiment and knowing when the actual time comes for the trip they'll get someone else, fuk that.

its 520 days to do the experiment. 520 days to get to mars, 520 days to come back.

that's 1560 days. I wonder how many research experiments can they conduct with that kinda time. lol

Didn't they try to do this before but with a year and someone lost their mind?

for the amount they get paid to train, it should be easy. image working for a year getting fed and sheltered all at the companys expensive! :D

i'd go insane being stuck in a room for 520 days

you really only get one chance to set off to mars every 16yrs otherwise the distance between earth and mars is just too much. that's why they can't stay at mars for longer than 30days otherwise the earth will orbit too far away.

yeah, the toll is too much on human life to practice simulations of 520days before the actual test. U don't see people simulating jail before they go there.

I really hope your not a math major

The Video commentator did say, 520 days simulates the time to get there, spend 30 days there and come back.


So it takes roughly 245 days to get there, and 245 back. with a 30 day lay-over.

It would be a really bad idea to have a man and a woman doing this. Basically you'd end up with this:

Joe Smiths Starlog:

Day 1: Lift off went without a hitch. All systems normal. Jane Doe and I "christened" the cockpit ;)

Day 30: Watched seasons 1-5 of 24. Had crazy sex with Jane. This is fucking awesome

Day 100: Still watching tapes of Oprah. At first I hated it, then I kind of started liking it, now I'm swinging back to hating it. Havn't had sex for a few days because I said that I think Oprah might be a dike, so Jane's a bit moody

Day 200: Got caught jerking it in the bathroom, now she's been following me around harrasing me about it, crying because I "don't think she's pretty"

Day 300: ......and then I said "how the fuck did you lose your book? We're in a fucking shoebox. Do you have magic powers of being stupid?".......and now she's saying it's not even about her book, but that I should know, and if she has to tell me then she might as well not even bother. What the hell does that even mean?.....

Day 382: Silent treatment has entered it's third week. I've begun jerking off into her t-shirts just to see that look on her face when she discovers it.

Day 430: *SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED*

End Starlog

That's y they need even amounts of guys:girls on this trip... they can repopulate the human race :thumbsup:

there's actually a 2 part outer limits episode that deals with that. Came out in the 90's.

I definitely would go insane...

id do it if a bunch of hot chicks would come along and if they pay me big bux

Go watch the Movie Moon. Similar style. :)

u dont age as fast as you do in space though, i'm sure they'll let em bring up some books and cards to keep them sane
