They have other people with them on the ship and they still presumably have radiotelecommunications.
Its not like one person is going to spend nine months in complete isolation.

>>11503138
Bruh spending 9 months in a metal tube with a bunch of people... They're all gonna fuck and then kill each other. Not necessarily in that order.

>>11503131
jokes on you op i'm already nuts making me the perfect candidate.

The Chad Venus colony has floating cities and only takes 3 months

Imagine how fucking JACKED they're all gonna be from working out to pass the time

>>11503131
If you get insane on the 9 month trip then you would be insane in the box you have to live for 2 years before returning as well so that's moot point. You simply don't send mentally unstable people.

>>11503155
Dude anyone would go insane from those conditions. Doesn't matter how mentally stable you think you are. Why don't you hit up Elon Musk on Twitter since you're such a stoic chad

>>11503142
>9 months in a metal tube with a bunch of people
Plus ground control, the occasional family, and doctor appointments and everything else I'm not remembering.
You can just about do everything online on Earth so why can't they do it in space?
It's not the most ideal but some extremes of people (i.e. basement dwelling NEETs) already spend up to years holed up in their rooms by themselves and the internet.

>>11503131
It might look hard for you not to have human contact for so long, but not all of us are attention craving bunnies. Some of us just want to get shit done before we die.

>>11503131
Don't send normies.

>>11503131
Isn't this why astronauts and cosmonauts are training in the ISS for long periods of time?

>>11503159
Look, it's not everyone's cup of tea but suggesting no one is capable of the 9-month journey because of literal insanity is ridiculous. It will be lonely but people are more than capable of being lonely for extended periods of time. Besides, they will have colleagues and satellite communications available to them.

>>11503131
Didn't Elon say in a recent interview he can't go to Mars?

>>11503159
>nooooo it's not fair if they don't send in the schizos and retards who will chimp out and ruin the mission instead of healthy stable individuals noooo

>>11503159
ever heard of meditation? and maybe don't send people if it takes like a 1 year for them to even arrive

Listen to the habitat podcast

Actually, don't, it's fucking boring, but yeah it's a simulation of a space journey, pretty realistic.

>>11503131
The US Navy has been doing tests on this for decades. Literally decades. It's a well explored science.

Sure 9 months is a long time for a Sub to be submerged but 6 months isn't.

>>11503142
Stop watching TV. It needs to be better taught in schools that writers need conflict and suffering to write stories. There's lots of tales of isolation in history. Not everyone goes crazy.

>I haven't left the house in 10 months

Am I qualified for this?

>>11503336
yes they are going to take all neets and shoot them at mars

>>11503131
Artificial coma
Guards shifts

>>11503131
Easy - just bring good books.
You are not a complete barbarian, are you anon?

>>11503131
It takes a week or so at constant 1g acceleration.
Work that out first.

>>11503131
They already spent that long on the ISS how is a trip to Mars any different?

>>11503159
>Dude anyone would go insane from those conditions.
Not really. First, they pick mentally stable people. Secondly, they give them things to do. They're not just staring at the walls. They will give them science to run, they'll have to do exercise, make repairs/maintenance, they'll have films, things to read, music to listen to, each other's conversation, they'll have frequent contact with those back home too. Plus they'll have the knowledge that they are advancing humanity forward and have a very important mission.

It won't be easy, and will require the right people, but it isn't impossible because it's not actual total isolation.

>>11503131
Quarantine is preparing the population to be candidates for this

>>11503131
It takes 4 months to get to Mars, not 9. Also, spending 4 months indoors is perfectly doable. I dare to say most people would be fine. Not everyone is a weak sensitive faggot like you OP.

>>11503131
>Imagine staying in a mothership for 9 months only to leave to face the dangers of the universe.

>>11503270
He wants to die on mars

>>11503131
This has been done, and its not even hard.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARS-500

>The Mars-500 mission was a psychosocial isolation experiment conducted between 2007 and 2011 by Russia, the European Space Agency and China, in preparation for an unspecified future crewed spaceflight to the planet Mars.

>The 520-day final stage of the experiment, which was intended to simulate a full-length crewed mission, began on 3 June 2010 and ended on 4 November 2011. This stage was conducted by a six-man international crew, consisting of three Russians, a French people, an Italian/ Colombian and a Chinese citizen. The stage included a simulation of a crewed Mars landing, with three simulated Mars-walks carried out on 14, 18 and 22 February 2011.The experiment ended on 4 November 2011, with all the participants reportedly in optimal physical and psychological condition.

It takes 9 months. Then you have to wait there for 4 months until the orbit is right so you can take your 9 month journey back

>>11503131
I heard they have lots of sex in space but wouldn't sex in zero gravity be messy as fuck?

>>11505972
No he said in a recent interview that current progress is too slow and its possible he will die before he can go to mars

>>11506228
No, he was implying progress other than space x. Hence why he created space x.

Perhaps through VR and various drugs they can keep the astronauts happy.

Elon is a fucking brainlet

>>11505972
Based experiment btfoing the doubters

>>11506254
Post accomplishments

>>11506268
Elon isn't smart he's a trust fund baby who made some lucky investments

>>11503159
If it was such an impossible task, they luckily have basically the entire world to choose from for participants so they can find the most sociable stoic retard imaginabke.

Just download Libgen and boom - you're done.

>Not necessarily in that order
Haha you're so hilarious, I bet you shat yourself laughing when you made that post.
