Learning to breathe, minus oxygen

Four volunteers are learning to breathe in argon – a gas which planet Mars has got in plenty. It's part of a Russian project that, one day, hopes to send a manned crew to the Red Planet. A 10-day experiment is underway to find out if people can endure a lack of oxygen.

Aleksandr Dyachenko, who's heading the experiment, says argon, combined with the right portion of oxygen, is quite safe for people.

Yes, they can, for extended periods of time. They're called Auburn graudates.
