Want to go to Mars? TripAdvisor Experiences and the Astroland Agency can't get you there, but they do offer a 30 day adventure that simulates what a real journey to Mars would require--for only several thousands of dollars a person.
TripAdvisor Experiences can’t actually take you to the red planet, but in conjunction withthey can make it feel like you’re there. For the low price of just under $7000 you can spend 27 days training your body and mind for the rigors of space travel, before spending three straight days abandoned in some caves in Spain. You’ll have the barest minimum tools necessary to insure survival.
Here’s what Astroland’s “mission to Mars” will get you for $6800. You’ll start with three weeks of physical training. During that time you’ll have “direct online access” to a variety of psychologists and aerospace experts, including “one of the few leading astronaut psychologists from Spain” Gabriel González de la Torre, as well as representatives from the European Space Agency. From there you’ll decamp to the Astroland Space Center in Cantabria, a region in northern Spain.
If this seems like something you could afford to drop several thousands of dollars on, you might want to know that space is limited. Five “missions” are scheduled through the end of 2019, and each one is capped to only 10 participants. They start on Sept. 22, Oct. 13, Oct. 27, Nov. 10, and Nov. 24, and if you do that last one you’ll be wrapping up right on Christmas Eve. If you’ve always wanted to spend Thanksgiving in a cave replicating the conditions of the Martian surface, now’s your chance.
