Mars Flight Stimulation

An international team of researchers have met in Moscow to do a 105 day stimulation of the flight to Mars. The crew is an all-male crew that is made up of 4 Russians, 1 German, and 1 Frenchman. The communications to the control team will be delayed 20 minutes to stimulate real flight communication. The researchers who built the stimulation did not input one of the toughest challenges into the flight: deadly space radiation. This probably because they have no answer for that at this time. This is a big step in putting men on Mars.
