I hope they have good ventilation in the "space ship", or two years worth of bad gasses are about to be released

Now, when they have served a prison term of two years "in advance", each of them can safely commit a minor offense that worth the same according by Russian law. For instance, shoot firearms in the street, undertake a fraud yielding them some several 1000's roubles, accidentally run somebody over by a car, smack somebody's mug in public, sell Mein Kampf to public from a street book tray, share Autocad cracked release at a torrent tracker, etc...

Too bad that, if I just go hang around the IMBP building, I'll probably see nothing except many cars in the parking.

RIA Novosti: Mars 500 experiment helps scientists study human abilities:
Quote:
The Mars 500 experiment simulating a manned flight to the Red Planet will give scientists new insights into unique human abilities, supervisor of the project Alexander Suvorov said.

{...}

“The experiment was a success because none of the participants dropped out along the way. They all stayed healthy and…retained their working efficiency throughout the project,” Suvorov said in an exclusive interview wiith RIA Novosti.

{...}

“We are certain now that people could make a return trip to Mars without any problems,” the scientist said. “However, an ideal number of crewmembers during a real flight should be four rather than six due to a limited amount of resources, including food supplies, which may be taken aboard.”

Suvorov said the experiment had already brought several unexpected insights into how a human body reacts to stress and prolonged confinement.

“In some tests the participants registered the decrease in metabolic rates, which means that the amount of food supplies taken on a trip [to Mars] could be reduced,” he said.

Other “surprises” included reduced motor performance and increased levels of sleep disorder among the crewmembers.

Suvorov said that despite the success of the experiment, it is too early to consider a real manned flight to Mars in the near future.

“First, we have to develop effective protection from strong radiation, which the crew will face during the trip,” he said.
