want to visit Mars? then #NASA has an offer for you and it’s looking for volunteers.
Simulated missions look at people’s psychological and health responses to conditions similar to what astronauts would experience on a deep space mission. In the case of the Mars mission, called Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog or CHAPEA, the aim is to simulate a Martian environment using a 3D-printed habitat and a set of Mars-related tasks that crew members must perform.
@ecksmc very cool! Thanks for posting!
@SatuUnelmia yeah it looks like a cool thing to get involved in
@ecksmc Do you remember the movie with Paully Shore where they tried living in a protected environment? It kind of made me think of that, 😂. Very cool that they are even looking so close at it though. The biggest factor I have about living in space is the problems with loss of bone density astronauts have had. I don’t think my body could handle that.
@SatuUnelmia film doesn't ring any bells
but yeah 😂 agree with biggest factor you mention - I don't think mine would either: 😂
