Four non-astronauts have officially entered NASA's fake Mars base for an experiment that will last an entire year.
NASA has officially kicked off one of its biggest and most intriguing experiments to date. The experiment will see four non-astronauts locked in NASA’s fake Mars base, which will help simulate what it might be like for four humans to live within a small, confined space cut off from the normal luxuries of life, like cell phones, internet, and TV while living on Mars.
The experiment is meant to test the effect that such isolated, yet cramped, quarters might have on the human body and mind. Maintaining good physical and mental health will be important for all four of these participants, and will help NASA see how an extended stay on planets like Mars might affect human astronauts well into the future.
