☆ An engineer who lived in NASA's Mars simulation for 378 days went through extreme isolation — but still said he'd go to the red planet for real if he could

Not just anyone can live on MarsThe CHAPEA crew celebrates the birthday for Ross Brockwell, left, inside the habitat. Luckily for the CHAPEA crew, everyone got along well and became close even before they set foot in the habitat, Brockwell said, which helped reduce the sense of isolation. Homesickness is realThe 1,700-square-foot CHAPEA habitat contains individual living quarters for four volunteer crew members. But you might fall in love with itA CHAPEA crew member participates in a simulated "Marswalk" inside a 1,200-square-foot sandbox to mimic the Martian landscape. Despite the challenges he faced during the simulation, Brockwell would love to visit Mars for real someday.

☆ NASA will pay 4 health-conscious 'astronaut-like' people to live inside a Mars simulation for 378 days. See if you qualify.

Read previewNASA is hiring four people to spend 378 days living inside a simulated Mars habitat in Houston. NASA is looking for people who are "as astronaut-like as possible," said Bell, who also leads NASA's Behavioral Health and Performance Lab.

JPL/NASAIt's not just experience and stress tolerance that makes a Mars astronaut.

☆ NASA is looking for a crew to live inside a simulated Martian habitat

CNN —For anyone who has ever dreamed of living on Mars, NASA is seeking potential “Martians” for a simulated mission to the red planet. Inside Mars Dune Alpha, participants will grow crops, maintain their habitat, exercise, carry out robotic operations and go on simulated spacewalks. When it comes to selecting the CHAPEA crew, the agency has specific criteria in mind that aligns with how they select astronauts. Inside the habitat, the CHAPEA 1 crew conducts "Marswalks" (left) and grows crops using a system with appropriate lighting, water and nutrients for growing plants indoors. A series of Mars simulationsThe first CHAPEA mission, which began on June 25, 2023, is set to conclude on July 6.

☆ NASA runs a tiny, isolated cabin that simulates a year of life on Mars, and for some reason, they put a book about the psychological horrors of cave exploration in it

What book would you pack if you were isolated in a Mars habitat with three other people for 378 days? The book includes descriptions of "psychological horrors produced by weeks in absolute darkness." Photographed in the Mars Dune Alpha's capsule library was a book titled "Blind Descent: The Quest to Discover the Deepest Cave on Earth," a novel by James Tabor. The living room/dining area inside of CHAPEA's Mars Dune Alpha at the Johnson Space center in Houston, Texas. "Ultimately, this information will help NASA make informed decisions to design and plan for a successful human mission to Mars," Douglas added.

Bill Stafford/NASAAiming for fidelity has resulted in a habitat that could feasibly built on Mars, Smith adds. MARK FELIX/AFP/AFP /AFP via Getty ImagesNASA is attempting to fill in what it calls “Strategic Knowledge Gaps,” that currently make a manned Mars mission too risky. A manned Mars mission will ship food to the planet in advance of humans, which means it will need a long shelf-life. Intended as a location for the emirate to develop technology for an eventual Mars mission, it was also designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, with 3D-printed buildings. Thankfully the crew entering CHAPEA in June will not have to concern themselves with that potentially deadly element of a Mars mission.
