What? 520 days without watmm?

The horror...

I think they get the internet, and can communicate with their commanders (and perhaps their friends and family every so often). But only dependent on realistic windows of opportunity for communication and with a 20 minute delay.

So anyway, we're all going to die in a nuclear holocaust in the next few years, and they'll emerge as the last surviving humans, yeah?

the ISS has a near-constant 2mbps connection, but things like emails are sent as zipped packages every couple of hours to keep the bandwidth for other things. i could live with that, if the simulation, er, simulated it.

So do they have blogs?

I think after 400 days or so you might actually start to believe you were on your way to Mars.

Imagine the disappointment after 520 days when the doors finally open and you step out.... still in Russia

Scientists would change the scenery so that when they get out seems to be a different place. Like a beach in the maldivas or somethin.

I'm pretty sure that after 520 days the whole earth will be an oily, polluted, nuclear bombed wasteland

According to the Mars500 fact sheet there's an external 'Martian surface' module that's part of the simulation.

I wonder if this will result in conspiracy theorists believing that the Mars500 simulation was rigged and that they actually went to Mars instead of building a martian surface simulator on earth.

There is a very early twilight zone episode where a guy is in a town with no-one and going a bit stir crazy, and it turned out he was in one of these chambers going mad too see if a human could last the trip to the moon.
