Volunteers?

Scientists are working on a simulated mission to Mars, in which six volunteers will be locked in a cramped mock spaceship for 18 months. During the span of 500 days, all volunteers face scenarios like touchdown and walking on the surface. The scientists want to see what kinds of stresses astronauts may have to face on a real mission. They will be looking for volunteers in June.
