Ah...Astrology...
Dude, who ate my cheese ?
They need some honeys on board. Let’s get real.
Sounds like they should have sent some Babes along... Who ate what?
‘Ground control to Major Tom....”

Agree with posts re. Dudes alone for 17 months is recipe for tension. Check on navy studies regarding long under ice cruises on boomersubs add women stir and also send a dog a cat a bird and also a garden. But most importantly have them build some module for the mission not critical but important
Scatter oakum on the decks...

They make O2 out of urine now on the ISS.
You don't want to know details about the logistics for long-term spacecraft. Russians designed most of it, and it mostly works.

This has long been known. Ever since men have sailed long stretches aboard sailing ships, they are constantly given busywork to keep them occupied. The cleaning and maintenance is necessary, but it is also necessary for the mind.
If things turned out poorly when these men knew they were still on planet earth, I can imagine what the effect would be when they are in fact surrounded by an empty, airless, cold and heartless void.
Send the duck calls dudes, their wives and a few gators and that would be interesting.
Whiskey, Women, and Bowie Knives, should liven things up.
Did I say “Women”? I meant Woman.
The problem is they sent the “best of the best”. What they need to do is lock up a few couch potatoes with enough beer and chips to last them, and then see how it goes.
