Sim Mars

The European Space Agency is calling for volunteers to be sealed inside a "spaceship" for 17 months to simulate a trip to Mars. According to the BBC,
With the exception of weightlessness and radiation, the crew will experience most other aspects of long-haul space travel, such as cramped conditions, a high workload, lack of privacy, and limited supplies.
I'm confused. Are they simulating space travel or working as a code writer at Microsoft?

Also, there was a Dr. Who episode where people were lead to believe they were in space, but weren't.
