BALTIMORE - Do you and your sweetie need a way to reconnect--perhaps strengthen your bond?
Then maybe a mission to mars is in your future.
The paragon space development corporation is looking for a couple to send to the red planet.
Here's the catch--It will take about 500 days to get there--in a very cramped spacecraft, and you wouldn't land on the planet, just fly around it.
The target launch date is 2018.
