And what if it doesn't work out? What if the funding stops?

Also, the application process involves being on a reality tv show. Hard limit.

Never mind the reality tv thing, you still shouldn't go. Haven't you ever read any Ray Bradbury or Leigh Brackett?

Probably combo of contamination & bone breakdown in space. Early astronauts were wheelchair bound for weeks after a flight. Shuttle they learned to mandate so many hours of exercise a day
