I don't like to enter company funded contests, but this one, well, something says, OH GODS YES!!! Sorry for the yelling, but crest is having a contest to give away a seat on a suborbital shot.Now I don't know how many space junkies there are out there on this forum, but I am one of them,  if someone said hey we are trying to set up a  coleny in space and your living space will be the size of a japanise coffin hotel room, and you might die in some horrible disaster and it will GREATLY increase your chanses of getting cancer...I would say BEAM ME UP SCOTTY, WHERE DO I SIGN!? *ahem*so I think this so wicked cool, and if anyone knows any goddesses or gods demons or similer creature with influance on personal events hook me up, cuz I wanna go!

I guess you mean this.
I get bored crazy on a 2 hour flight. A flight where you can't see anything but stars and rocks will make me eat the liver of the bilionair who sits next to me. And that's after just the first 12 hours.

lo_res_man, did you know that European Space Agency was looking for volunteers for a Mars mission simulation?  Over 200 people send their applications, only six will pass. The mission itself is that you are being locked in a little space capsule for 700 days Now try not to go crazy in that time while you can only be in 5 rooms!

700 days!! Will it be aired on TV, like some overly long Big Brother show? 

[CodeJunkie]

700 Days a Spaceman?

[radiowaves]

Lol, that would be cool name for a TV show.

I once heard about a prank pulled, in England I think, where people were asked to be part of some space travel program, and it was filmed. Anybody else know of this?

[Hammerite]

Yeah, it was on Channel 4 and called "Space Cadets".

It was rubbish and had actors to wind them up. I would like to go into space but maybe 700 days is a bit much.
