The astronaut class should unionize and refuse to participate in moronic experiments which serve no practical purpose. Either spend the money to go to Mars the RIGHT way, or refuse to participate.

The next thing you know, they will be studying the effects of 1 year of half-rations, to simulate the effects of a further impoverished Mars mission.
