Hey, i heard rumours that NASA has sealed 3 astronauts away for 18months to simulate a trip to mars. I was wondering if anyone else has heard anything. I cannot seem to find anything on the net about it.

Please Help.

Thanks

Didn't find anything about NASA doing this Mars trip preparation work, but I found this article about something similar going on in Russia :)
