IT is a road trip that could test the best of marriages: Mars. A tycoon announced plans Wednesday to send a middle-aged couple on a privately built spaceship to slingshot around the Red Planet and come back home, hopefully with their bodies and marriage in one piece after 501 days of no-escape togetherness.
Under the audacious plan, the spacecraft would blast off less than five years from now and pass within 160 kilometers of the Martian surface. Outsiders put the cost at more than US$1 billion.
The private, nonprofit project, called Inspiration Mars, will get initial money from NASA engineer-turned-multimillionaire investment consultant Dennis Tito, the first space tourist.
