Mars 500 Simulation Wrapping Up, Will Soon ?Land? On The Red Planet

We need more stories like this next one. A crew of six researches has been locked inside a ?steel capsule? (presumably not the Elimination Chamber) for an astounding 520 days on a mock mission to Mars. The point of the mission is to study how long-term spaceflight affects the human mind and body. Do people freak out like in that episode of Ren & Stimpy? Do they lose a dangerous amount of weight? Things like that. The mission is nearing completion, with the researchers preparing to?land? on Mars on February 12.
