Anyone want to volunteer?

Preparing for Mars, crew spends 520 days alone

In order to simulate the affect on astronauts the MARS500 project will mimic a real future mission to the Red planet as accurately as possible. That includes spending 520 days confined together. (May 27)

if they have their Personal Computers that they could lan together they won't have a problem... they should recruit Starcraft players or WOW players... 520days would be a breeze for them

Pretty sure researchers or even post-grads wouldn't mind this at all.

^ i understand they will love the research but only working out for entertainment ???? cant really imagine that .... unless they have time to suit up and get out that room

People spend much longer times in Jail and they turn out fine.

They maintain communication with Houston. They can always stream TV shows & download porn through that connection.

I know it's about research but they REALLY should send them up with a couple chicks... I mean... after that amount of time in that little area with another dude... you're gonna want to get laid... as difficult as that would be in zero gravity...

They should supply the guys with a conch.... just in case. lol

Why no tv or internet? I am pretty sure you can still get the signal from earth.

But in Jail, they get to go outside and breath fresh air, as well as to walk around in the yard. These guys will be stuck in a room not even seeing the light of day for 520 days.

I hope they bring a lot of fapping material, it's going to be a lonely 520 days.

If this does work out..
That's 520 days to GET to Mars, and another 520 to get back.
1040 days wasted on a Space Shuttle is not how I would want to spend my time.

wuuhoo

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

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.

05-29-2010, 07:39 PM
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?

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.

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

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

So with zero gravity, when you jizz cuz your always fapping from boredom, does that mean it'll just float all over the place until it hits your buddy in the eye? :lol
