Three Russians, one Chinese, one French and one Italian will soon begin a 520 day stay in a huge Russian warehouse under constant camera surveillance by scientists who will monitor everything they do in the most ultimate Big Brother experiment.
In this European space travel experiment, every move, mood swing and facet of the astronauts lives will be under strict control.
On the 3rd of June 2010, the ESA Mars 500 project will send a “crew” of six on a simulated 520-day round trip to the Red Planet where they will spend 30 days exploring before returning to Earth.
The men will spend a strict eight hours a day working, eight hours of leisure time and eight hours sleeping and they will not be able to call on the help of their big brother watchers for food or personal help during the nearly 16 months the “mission” will take.
