RAZOR meets Robert Wild, one of a select group of Astronauts, testing equipment that could see a human being travel to Mars. Having overcome a rigorous selection to make it onto the Austrian space program, Wild and the new recruits will now have to successfully pass the spacesuit simulator and technical tests before taking part in a highly challenging mock trip to Mars next year.  However, only 6 of the now 13 analog astronauts, will go to the Negev desert in Israel to test equipment and working procedures for future human Space exploration.
