Remember how as a kid you and your friends would get into a cardboard box and pretend to be flying into outer space? Everyone does that right? How would you like to do that for real… climb into a box with some other people and for 18 months pretend to be flying to Mars?
That’s what these guys are doing. ESA Mars 500
Granted, the box they are going to be living in for the next 18 months is a lot nicer than the old refrigerator boxes we used to use! Here are some diagrams: Mars 500 Isolation Facility
We can follow along with updates from the fake Mars mission too, just look for the Mars Mission Diary on the right side of the home page.
