As part of the exploration of the Red Planet, four humans will live in a habitat that will simulate conditions on Mars.
As scientists and engineers continue to develop the capability to send humans to Mars in the near future, four humans will live the dream this summer as they begin living on Mars. However, their Martian homes will be on Earth.
The four volunteers are part of a year-long mission to prepare humans for the exploration of the Red Planet. They will live in a habitat that will simulate conditions on Mars when humans arrive on the Red Planet in the near future.
The 3D-printed habitat includes private crew quarters, a kitchen, and dedicated areas for medical, recreation, fitness, work, and crop growth activities, as well as a technical work area and two bathrooms. The crew is scheduled to begin in June this year as the teams obtain the most accurate data during the analog mission.
“During the simulation, crew members will carry out different types of mission activities, including simulated spacewalks, robotic operations, habitat maintenance, personal hygiene, exercise, and crop growth,” Nasa said in a statement.
The crew will also face environmental stressors such as resource limitations, isolation, and equipment failure in order to be as close to the situation on Mars when humans arrive. The team will be subjected to resource limitations, isolation, equipment failure, and significant workloads during their habitation.
According to Forbes, 16 Psyche is a rare asteroid that contains a rich deposit of precious metals, which may make everyone on this Earth a billionaire.

Why are “we” even thinking of trying to live on Mars of all places – no air, not shielded from the sun’s radiation, no water and a place totally alien to us – why have we not investigated what is under our seas, they are literally at our doorstep, they provide us with H20, water we can drink, oxygen we breathe, etc and sure, we use submersibles, but not to conquer our inner space, the seas which take up 2/3 of our planet – Mars – you have got to be joking, not counting the costs of trying to get there.
Can it be we are nudged to not think of exploring under the seas, because of the alien species that flies those flying saucers that come from and return to the seas of “our” world, after all, they were “around” when our species were still cave men/women, hundreds of thousands of years ago, drawing pictures of them and their flying saucers on the insides of caves with river mud, which can still be seen today.
