Fancy doing a simulated 520 day Mars mission, complete with cramped spaces, instrument failures and restricted diet? The Russian space agency is recruiting people who are willing to go the distance – applicants must be between 25 and 50 years old, and having certain science skills will raise your scores in their assessment structure. I’m sure you couldn’t describe this as being ‘fun’, but it’s definitely an awesome opportunity – unless this is actually a new idea from Persey Tours, of course…I wonder if they need a blogger in the crew?
