Calling all Martians! NASA is looking for four volunteers to be part of a simulated Mars experiment that will last 12 months. The experiment will take place at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas in a 1,700-square-foot 3D-printed building. Scientists will collect data on “physical and behavioral health” while battling extreme isolation and separation from loved ones.
So, what exactly will scientists be looking for? “The major crew activities during the analog may consist of simulated spacewalks including virtual reality, communications, crop growth, meal preparation and consumption, exercise, hygiene activities, maintenance work, personal time, science work, and sleep.” Participants will make around $60-thousand.
