The European Space Agency is seeking six men and six women to embark on the 17-month virtual journey, for a 520-day simulated mission to Mars.The crew's only contact with the outside world will be a radio link to 'Earth' with a realistic 40 minute delay.The volunteers will even eat the same food that astronauts get aboard the International Space Station.The aim of the experiment is to gain an insight into how humans behave in conditions similar to those on a journey to Mars.

Take an egg from the fridge and place it in the egg cup in the centre of the table.Switch on the radio or hifi and turn it up to a comfortable volume.Switch on phone A and place it on the table such that the antenna (the pokey thing at the top) is about half an inch from the egg (you may need to experiment to get the relative heights correct - paperbacks are good if you have any - if not you may be able to get some wood

Scientists in China have found a way to control the flight of pigeons by implanting electrodes in their brains.The researchers have developed a computer system which allows them to tell the birds to fly left, right, up or down.Chief scientist Su Xuecheng told the Xinhua news agency: "It's the first such successful experiment on a pigeon in the world."The technique has a variety of practical uses, such as helping amputees to use mechanical limbs and controlling animals fitted with cameras to search large areas or disaster zones./ananova.com/
