'Mars mission' ends

Six volunteers on Friday stepped into the outside world after spending the last one-and-a-half-years locked away in an isolation module in Moscow to simulate the effects of a return trip to Mars.The multi-national crew showed no ill effects after emerging from the capsule.After the pressure in the capsule was equalised with the outside, a researcher broke the seal and then opened the door of the module. All six crew members, dressed in blue overalls, walked out one-by-one in good health.They are next due to appear in public for a news conference on Tuesday.
