Meet the (Pretend) Cosmonauts (Actually) Living In a Capsule For
500 Days  Later this year, these two (pretend) cosmonauts, along
with four other as-of-yet-unnamed crew members, will embark on
an historic, 500 day (pretend) mission to Mars, evaluating man's
ability to cope with the taxing journey to the Red Planet.  In

speaking volunteers who were interested in taking part in the
(pretend) mission. Romain Charles, from France, and Diego
Urbina, a Colombian-Italian, are the first two (pretend)
cosmonauts selected for the (pretend) trip, dubbed Mars500.  The
crew will be locked in a (pretend) space capsule in Moscow with
food and supplies, where they will remain for 18 months. Halfway
