THIS pilot is hoping to go to Mars... without having to leave Earth.
Laura Marie is one of several volunteers hoping to live for 378 days inside a fake simulation of the planet at NASA's Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas.
If selected, she'll enter the imitation 1,700 sq ft habitat on October 19 to live and work like a real-life astronaut.
British-born commercial pilot and instructor Laura, who moved to the US in 2016, is on a list of reserves so will take part if someone drops out.
