Life on Mars
The European Space Agency are looking for volunteer 'astronauts' to take part in a simulated trip to Mars in anticipation of the real thing at some stage in the future. One need not be a trained astronaut, the emphasis here is how the lengthy trip will impact psychologically. The most daunting aspect is the duration - 17 months within a confined space, cut off from the outside world, with any communication taking a 40 minute delay as it would on such a trip. If you think you've got the stuff then download the application form here!

The link doesn't appear to work? Thanks for drawing my attention to it though, it could be an ideal challenge for an introvert like me! :-)
Apologies, hopefully it's working now.
I think the need for working Russian would be a bit daunting too.
I'll wait 'till it's a day trip. Simon, get cracking on that warp drive. :)
Call it big brother and thousands will apply. people could be voted out the airlock. :)
