The Ultimate Getaway Vacation

Who wants to be the first people to go to Mars? A nonprofit foundation's recruiting a man and a woman, maybe married, for a 501-day round trip that they want to send up there within five years. They're developing life-support systems, and whoever goes better pray they develop a GOOD life-support system. And timing is everything, because there's a limited launch window for a rare planetary alignment that will allow the spacecraft to loop around Mars and scoot within 150 miles of the planet's surface. If they don't launch in 2018, they have to wait until 2031. So they're rushing, which should fill you with confidence. (Reuters via Chicago Tribune)
