    Week 1 - Awesome I'm on Mars living in a capsule the size of a 5 man tent. Week 2-2000 - Crap I'm on Mars living in a capsule the size of a 5 man tent.
I like this.

Well, there will probably be loads of science to do, which surely will be very exciting, and the simple knowledge of being the human who made the human race an interplanetary race must be incredibly inspiring. I am sure there are hundreds who would volunteer even if they only had food for a week and there was a 50% chance of dieing on impact, just for the possibility of being on the same page as Niel Armstrong in the history books.
