It looks like the European Space Agency (ESA) is hiring 6 people to test out the habitation module of the Mars500 project. Mars500 is being designed to carry people to Mars for a 30 day exploratory mission. Two of the six aboard will be traveling to the surface of Mars aboard a lander. But they will only be able to get onto the surface after a 250 day flight. The return journey is another 240 days with 5 other people who you had better not hate.

I suppose the feasibility of being cramped into a small space with 6 people is a little questionable, so the ESA in conjunction with the Russian Institute for Biomedical Problems will be putting the idea to the test. Don't wait, they're hiring now! Maybe you'll get lucky and it will be just you, the Swedish Bikini team and all the books you can read. Er um, video games...
