Then this job is just for you ..Apply within....

Millionaire space tourist Dennis Tito is looking for a married couple to be astronauts to Mars and back in 501 days, starting in 2018.

It would be just you and your other half.

Who thinks they could survive 501 days with just the two of you, in a tiny space craft :-0

Lynda has left out one of the main requirements i.e. they have to be older (than what?) and have had all the children they want as the trip will probably make them infertile.

I really fancied applying, but they want couples aged 40 to 50 years.
Missed by a mile! :-(

The Daily Mash take on it :-

THE MARRIED couple sent to Mars will have a falling-out when they miss the planetary turn-off, it has been claimed.

Multimillionaire Dennis Tito is seeking a husband-and-wife team to undertake a journey to the Red Planet.

However experts are predicting trouble when some inevitable space-map reading problems mean they overshoot Mars by several hundred million miles.

Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute for Studies said: “The likely scenario is that space husband will be piloting the controls in a self-consciously manly fashion while the space wife navigates using a map to which she is not giving her full attention.

“She’s semi-realised they’ve gone wrong but doesn’t say anything because space husband already seems to be in a bit of a mood.

“The husband will be like ‘look, it must be that planet on the left’, by which point the wife has a terrible sinking feeling but decides to keep quiet because all these planets are pretty similar after all and maybe he won’t notice". :-D
