NASA's Year-Long Mars Simulation: Inside the Fake Base
TL;DR Summary
Four individuals have begun a 378-day stay inside a simulated Mars habitat at NASA's Johnson Space Center to study the challenges of living on the Red Planet. NASA is paying each participant $10 per hour for all waking hours, totaling just over $60,000 for the entire mission. The crew will have a demanding schedule, including exercise, simulated spacewalks, and crop growth. Despite the low compensation, the participants are motivated by the opportunity to contribute to humanity's interplanetary future.
