Two years ago six volunteers entered modules in the suburbs of Moscow, starting the record breaking isolation experience.

Last November, after 520 days, they came out of their supposed Mars spaceship.

This video explains what are the first lessons from MARS 500 in particular with interviews of both ESA "marsonauts": Romain Charles and Diego Urbina and Christer Fuglesang, Head of Science and Application Division at the ESA Directorate of Human Spaceflight and Operations.
