They Spent 378 Days Locked Inside
These four people just spent 378 days locked in a Mars simulation…
They lived in this 3D printed “habitat” and if they needed any help, it would take 22 minutes minimum to contact the outside world… because that’s exactly how long it would take to send a signal from Mars.
They grew their own food without direct sunlight, did simulated “spacewalks” and were tested on their ability to handle a variety of situations.
But to really get to Mars, we might need a gas station in space, to see that, subscribe!
