All Hail the Kings of the Geeks

This is the most flatteringly unflattering portrait of intense geekdom since Trekkies (which you all must see, if you haven't):

They go outside in white canvas space suits trimmed in duct tape. Their helmets are made from plastic light fixtures and white bullet-shaped trash-can lids. In their habitation module (the thing that looks like a silo), they sit with their laptops late into the cold desert night, typing up reports of simulated Mars disasters.
NB: Sounds more like Capricorn One to me.
