A year out of this world: Nasa seeks volunteers to simulate Mars mission

Four-person crew will inhabit 3D-printed replica of red planet to help develop and evaluate systems for missions slated for 2030s

For anybody already jaded by the news and joking about a trip to outer space to avoid it all, Nasa might just have you covered.

The space agency is seeking four volunteers to spend a year living on Mars - or at least a 3D-printed replica of the red planet. Isolation is pretty much guaranteed.
