Astronauts on future missions to Mars may get so bored and lonely they fight among themselves, say Australian psychologists. The researchers are testing their theory on group conflict with a team of scientists heading to a simulated Mars base in the remote Australian outback this August. The scientists will be living and working in Mars-like conditions at an experimental base at Arkaroola, in the Flinders Ranges, 660 kilometres north of Adelaide. The expedition to Arkaroola leaves on 2 August and is organised by the Mars Society, an international group of scientists based in Colorado dedicated to Mars exploration.TrackBack URL for this entry:

Psycologists shouldn't read too much into an Earth-based simulated martian environment. The biggest difference being that they really aren't on Mars. Real scientists working on Mars would be fufilling a life's goal, which would go a long way towards a happier environment. I would be estatic to be working 16 hour shifts on Mars!! Hell, I could prolly get along with Dick Cheney working side by side on Mars...
