Any man playing grabass spends a night in the box.

"Hmmm... I wonder if I could get locked in a box for two years." That's what over 70 people in Russia must have said to themselves before volunteering for a new Mars Mission Simulation. That's right simulation. Spend all that time waiting around and when they let you out you haven't even gone anywhere. I'm not sure exactly what the habitat would be like, but I'm going to guess nowhere near as nice as Bioshpere 2. Off hand I'm imagining something like "the box" from Cool Hand Luke. But if over 70 people want to spend 520 days in there, it must be a little nicer.
