    Not enough for me to sign up.

    BTW, will thay have internet over that radio link? Sure, it would be kind of funny to wait 40 min for the page to begin loading, but no internet at all is even worse!
    But think about it - that's 120 euros a day coming in, 0 euros going out... I assume you don't have to pay for rent and upkeep.

    That's a good bit of money saved, once you get out!

        If I could have books, I would mostly be OK.

          I wouldn't think they'd let you take books on a space voyage, too heavy. You'd probably have to do your reading via a computer screen.

              They should televise it. It would be pretty cool to see.

                What about sex?

                Is sex allowed?

                seriously 17 month without sex could be impossible for a weak individuality like me.

                  the crew will experience most other aspects of long-haul space travel, such as cramped conditions... lack of privacy....

                  You tell me if sex will be allowed.

                    Once the hatches are closed, the crew's only contact with the outside world is a radio link to "Earth" with a realistic delay of 40 minutes.
                    How will they stop us??

                              Why does that seem like such an apt name for something Russian?
