Candidates Needed for Lengthy Virtual Trip to Mars

[_Nocturnal]

So, Canada is a member of the European Space Agency.
You learn something every day.

So we've made the first Vault huh? Very interesting....

Wow, that seems like it would be interesting and fun...but since Americans can't enter...well meh.

Considering the lack of internet and probable conservation of power, I would probably force all of my crew mates to take up tabletop gaming. I wonder how dice roll in zero gravity.

It's called a random number generator on a PDA or calculator. =P Does wonders when you have no dice.

Fit as spit?!

Wtf...where in the world is that even a phrase?

Actually, that's a pretty old one. Didn't think it was still used.

On topic. *looks for old Canadian passport* Got to be around here somewhere.. Technically I'm only I.T. Security and haven't finished the degree, deferring for a year to get $$$. But I'm a nerd, we know everything. Can fake it at least. =P Fitness levels are fairly high.

It's the Aussie thing though.. Could be annoying..

That and the insomia.

Preferred candidates will have backgrounds in subjects like medicine, biology, and computer engineering.

Anyone who has any education in these fields will know better than to fuck around for a year and a half in some damn experiment instead of pursuing their field of expertise.

Dude.. This is NASA.. That's going to look pretty good on your resume.

Hmmmm... I kinda wanna do it. I wonder if it pays well, if at all?

They usually pay pretty good to their experiment subjects. Being a lab rat for an organisation that spends billions each year looks good on paper. =P

520 days in a simulator? Not unless it's CoD.

Wouldnt they go forever in the direction (until it hits something) since theres no gravity and nothing to stop its momentum. so itd be awefully annoing to stop mid game and fetch the dice. But interesting non the less

I'd do it.. Even though I have no background in any scientific career.. And I have the fitness of a toothpick... And I'm a U.S. citizen...

...I hate the space people...

Shouldn't they be testing this out on the average human being, not some picture perfect sample of our species? I mean really. You're going to run out of human Adonises sometime.
