Topic: Russian mock mission to Mars ends after 500 days.
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #13,847
At 10 am Greenwich Mean Time this morning (2 pm local time), six volunteers stepped out of a one-bedroom-apartment-size isolation pod at the Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP) in Moscow that they had shared for the previous 520 days. The aim of the Mars500 experiment was to learn more about the psychological and physical effects that a 250-day trip to Mars, a 30-day stay on the Red Planet’s surface, and a 240-day return will have on humans. In other words, it answered a question similar to the one asked in intro of the old TV sitcom “The Odd Coupleâ€: Can six strangers share a cramped apartment without driving each other crazy?
The answer apparently was yes, though there was no way to be sure beforehand. In 2000, a similar experiment came to an abrupt halt after 420 days when two participants got into a drunken fistfight and a third made unwanted sexual advances toward a female crewmember. But there were no such contretemps this time around. Italian crewmember Diego Urbina confirmed that things went relatively smoothly. “It was like a normal life on board. Not everybody had to be everybody’s friend,†said Urbina.

Wait, what? I want to know more about that.
Still, this whole experiment was pretty awesome.

The sad thing is that somewhere -right now- someone is likely drawing up plans for a reality show based on this.

Although, nothing can really beat bacon. I prefer back bacon to streaky bacon, since I prefer less fat on my meat. Subway do really nice meat sandwiches. There is an option for salami and pepperoni, and with lettuce, red onions and BBQ sauce, it's delicious.

Sometimes, I like to imagine that I'm sitting on a cloud, looking down at everything. It makes me feel peaceful.

Thanks for ruining a perfectly good thread, moron. If anyone here had one iota of intelligence they would have contributed some quality replies but instead retards pollute this Web site with nothing but utter garbage. I'm not posting here ever again since no one will lift even lift a fucking finger to do something about this. You all are scum.

I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-kiri Rock.
