If you have been loving lockdown, you may be ready for the ultimate challenge. NASA is researching the psychological and physical problems that might be face by astronauts on long-range missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
The space agency is looking for healthy volunteers who will live in total isolation for an eight-month simulated mission in a special facility near Moscow.
The “astronauts” may never leave the ground, but they’ll be subject to all the stresses and strains of an eight-month journey to Mars.
The Russian facility – The Institute for Biomedical Problems – has played host to this kind of simulation before, the longest being an epic 520-day “mission” starting in June 2010.
