I would like to know what those guys in the space cylinder test are going to do for amusing themselves while isolated? If anybody goes to Mars, they need to have various distractions to limit them taking things out on each other. That was funny Dave about the Real World "Mars" edition. That would be totally funny. Informative video this was and can't wait for the next one. ^_^
