    Expedition to Mars

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6221424.stm

    Now, let's imagine the mission included a selection of CUK's finest, say, ATW, Zeity, sasguru, Sally-Anne. Chances of mission success anybody?

    Oh, and read the smallprint:

    "Team ethic
    In all, 12 European volunteers will be needed. They must be aged 25-50, be in good health, have "high motivation" and stand up to 185cm tall. Smokers, or those with other addictions, to alcohol or illicit drugs, for example, will be rejected."
    "My God, it's huge!!"

    They will need to include at least 2 women (or none at all) as otherwise they will bore men to death...

          That is indeed the more appropriate resource management term.

              ATW (Mission Leader): “We’re on collision course with an asteroid. Sasguru, charge up the photon cannon NOW!”

              SAS (Science Officer): “Go piss up a stick, how you got top billing I’ll never know”

              Sally-Anne (Health & ahem ‘Wellbeing’ Officer): “So, which section are the Newky Brown rations stored in?”

              Zeity (Cook): “Hey, I think I see one of my own out there!” [stares vacantly out of the porthole]
