[i]We really would like to see 10 or 12 crew members with long duration data in order to be confident that sometime when we go around the table and health and medical says they are "go for Mars," that we know what all the risks are and we've alleviated them all. So at its core, scientifically, we need more subjects. Now there are a lot of partnership issues that we have to work out in deciding who those subjects would be, when those subjects would fly and we're still working on that with our partners. One thing that is really important is having this first set of data back. As we get some of the early results over the next year to two years, and as we work with our Russian colleagues and the data — because it is not just the data on Scott, it is also the data on Misha — and as that data gets together, we're going to start seeing if it is absolutely urgent that we get some more crew members right away or is it something we could maybe back-load at the end of ISS. So we still don't have that information either.[/i]
