Fast forward to 2035. The first manned Mars expedition is going home, and things have started to go wrong. The crew is a small group spending a few years together in a hostile environment. The psychological pressures are having an effect. They're also unaware that they've acquired a hitchhiker.

We can't recreate on Earth the microgravity of space or the conditions of Mars. However there have been a number of experiments studying the physical and mental health of an isolated "crew" in simulations of a deep space mission. Perhaps the most ambitious one has been Mars 500, a Russian project, which simulated a 520-day Mars voyage.
