Could You Colonize Mars?

 ...or at least a fake Mars? NASA is looking for people aged 30 to 55, nonsmoker, proficient in English...to spend a year living in a fake Mars colony. It's called an analog mission, and the point is to help us understand and predict the challenges astronauts might face.

Because of the way launch windows work, astronauts will likely have to stay on Mars for a long time and we need to know how they will deal with various (simulated crisis). And work out how to keep them from wanting to kill each other. Ahem.

Of course, you do have to meet some of the astronaut requirements, so this isn't an opportunity for everyone. But...well...here it is.
