Want to go to Mars?

Well, an entrepreneur who formerly worked at JPL (otherwise known as "the group that doesn't specify units of measure and crashes spacecraft into Mars") is organizing a once in a lifetime trip to Mars, and he's looking for a married couple to go on a 500 day trip in "spartan conditions" (Go Green!) to the red planet and back.

It all sounds great, with one tiny little exception; high energy cosmic rays would kill you and your wife.    Don't let that worry you, though; JPL veterans would never, ever would fail to consider a factor that would lead to the failure of a mission.  I believe that the mission is being organized, of course, by "King David's Cruise Line," the same people that brought you the Titanic, the Costa Concordia, and the Carnival Triumph.

This leaves, of course, Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows as the obvious couple for this mission.
