Ok not really, but Russia is beginning a 14 day experiment to prepared for a maneed flight to Mars. The simulation will also include a 105 mission. They will be putting together a volunteer international crew to do the 105 day experiment. This longer experiment will have 6 volunteer live isolated from the world in a 550 cubic meter model spaceship. They crew can only communicate through electronic mail. So it is intereting to see that the Russian Space program is once again a competitor in the race against the U.S. but this time to Mars.
