NASA is looking for people to participate  in an analog scenario in the HERA for a long duration spaceflight/Moon/Mars mission. They are calling for qualified people to apply for the next 45 day mission beginning May 5 and ending June 19.

HERA- Human Exploration Research Analog

I think there are real advantages to putting middle aged people in space. We're so much better at handling stress, following orders, isolation or close quarters. In fact as far as I'm concerned, NASA needs to start looking at imperfect specimens for testing. After all if the goal is to make space travel routine, you're going to be dealing with all kinds of people.

Obviously there are health concerns to worry about but they can be managed. You don't want to send drug addicts or drunks to space. Can't smoke in space anyway so cigarette smokers are also out.

Hey! Bugger that. They want the best pilot in the business, they put an ashtray in the ship and like it.  :tongue2:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I think they're worried about the younguns being able to handle life without their smart phones.

My sister was in a panic because I went more than 24 hours without electricity or heat with temps in the teens. I just hunker down with the dogs, read a lot and wait it out.

I am still jolted by realizing how much effect a few days without Internet had on me. Everything from the moment I wake (I use an Internet alarm) to going to bed (Internet relaxing music) was affected. I didn't realize how much it would hit me.

Since I like being alone, don't have a smartphone, and have a third arm, pick me.
