    Do they need someone to annoy everyone else? Because I'll take that job. I can be intolerable in close quarters, extremely condescending, and very passive aggressive. I also clip my fingernails. #marssimulation

    Two questions arise:

    1 - Will they pay for my trip to Russia?

    2 - Will there be any Martian sex simulation?

    Failure to provide a positive response to either one will yield a negative response on my part, followed by "N*Wëл Hа X*й".

    Note:
    I censored it. #marssimulation

    A 520-Day Pretend Trip To Mars? 520 days, that's all? That's nothing for Americans. Hell, we recently endured an 8-Year Pretend Trip To Democracy. #marssimulation

    @Sunburn_summer, @Bob Autrey, @psychiccheese: Democracy vs. Socialism vs. a Republic vs. etc., I found this fascinating video discussing American government. And, yeah, "fascinating video discussing American government" sounds like an oxymoron, but in this case it isn't. Vid runs about ten minutes; those wanting their political sensibilities challenged/broadened, check out at least the first minute or so. #marssimulation

    As long as I don't have to drink my own recycled urine, I'm in.

    Yeah, yeah, I know it's just the same as regular water, you can't even taste the difference blah blah blah...

    Rosa,

    We have ST:TNG tech already. Tap a little button and you can communicate with it.

    It's called a Bluetooth headset.

    That's right. The entire crew of the Enterprise NCC-1701D was made of douchebags with Bluetooth. Suck on that, Geordi and Crusher!

    But seriously. Since the FDA reported that 4 people have died from choking on life alert pendants, maybe we can make life alert mumu's, housecoats, or even, dare I say it, LifeAlert Slanket/Snuggies! [gizmodo.com]

    This is just a guess, but does it involve messing with the gravity in your room like Melora did in that episode of Deep Space Nine?

    Or does it possibly involve Kilngon Painstiks? Just be warned, they can cause excessive cephalic pressures to build up.

    You know, this would be a really good plot for a horror movie. 6 volunteers get locked up with no communication for 6 months. When they open the doors they find a grizzly massacre inside. The rest of the movie is replaying events to find out what happened.

    @dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: Did you mean "grisly" massacre? Because if it was a grizzly massacre, that would be kind of awesome, but it would probably be easy to figure out what happened. (It was the grizzly bear, hidden in the food closet.)

    isolation on earth seems like it would be even more stressful since you would always know that you could walk out the door at any time and go watch John & Kate +8, but in space you wouldn't have that option.....or would you...

    The 520 day one will surely end with a new generation.
