I should apply. As long as I don’t forget to smuggle in goods like candy and an XBox that I can distribute so as to establish dominance and power over the other experimentees. The ESA thinks they’re getting Picard, but I’m gonna give ‘em Kurtz...

$82,160 to give up 17 months of your life? Wonder if that’s after taxes?

They keep doing this simulated Mars trip study. This must be the tenth in the past decade. There are already several simulated Mars bases scattered around planet earth. Can we stop playing space explorer and get some development and settlement started on the moon and on Mars and in the asteroid belt?

Ans. No, because the Treaty is still sucking our investment money into non-space channels.
