US space agency NASA is looking for volunteer “Martians”. Although these will not actually be sent to the red planet, the conditions at the test site in Houston, Texas are intended to simulate life on Mars as closely as possible.

With the long-term project, NASA wants to find out what future astronauts need to survive a real Mars mission. Interested parties can apply until April 2nd. It will probably be a few years before an actual Mars mission can start in space with the fastest flight route.
