The Interaction
For the process to start we need a team of exactly four subjects to enter the capsule and recline on the launch chairs. Each candidate is handed a small energy displacement sustenance bar (a snack) to give them the energy needed. It will be a drastic transformation born from a taxing ordeal.
Once a full team is present, the mission begins at last. A starry galaxy becomes visible on the capsule ceiling and a space themed karaoke song - very well known so there are no excuses for not singing - will start playing and the participants will be instructed to sing along with all their hearts.
The countdown of exactly one minute will begin once the singing has started. A decibel meter will encourage the future space explorers to get cracking and belt out the anthem. They will be judged worthy depending on the volume they achieve; we go for engagement and not singing talent. If they reach the volume of moderate 70db, they have proven their mettle, and the rocket engine is started and their transformation takes place.
Exhausted and newly transformed, the new citizens are released back into BRC. A new found feeling of curiosity, and willingness to “go for it” will bring warm feelings and happiness to the playa. Only the worthiest candidates - picked randomly as life is still not totally fair - are handed the secret location and time of the infamous camp dinner, where slimy yellow space ooze (raclette cheese) is served with meteorite fragments (potatoes) and gherkins (yes, we have gherkins in the ICSL) as long as supplies last.
