Well, howdy there, Internet people, Lidsbo again.
So today we're gonna talk about a year,
kind of, on Mars, kind of,
and what it is designed to do.
Four volunteers with NASA will be heading into a habitat.
The habitat is designed to mimic Mars.
It's designed to look like Mars,
and it's designed to provide them with those challenges.
It's about 1,700 square feet, so it's not big.
The four people will be in there for 378 days.
During this time, NASA will be monitoring how time in that environment impacts their
cognitive function and their physical performance.
They will test them with scenarios, equipment failures, com issues.
They have to manage the resources, so on and so forth.
The idea is to kind of role play the whole thing
before they actually put people on another planet.
The four people that went, one is an emergency medicine
physician, one is a structural engineer,
one is a research scientist, and one is a microbiologist.
No moisture farmer as of yet.
This will be the first of three missions in this program.
The next one is slated to start in 2025,
and then there will be a follow-up in 2026.
At this point, it's still everything on the ground.
It's still everything here on Earth.
but the reality is they are taking steps
to getting us off this rock as a species.
They're taking steps to actually get us to Mars
and have people on the surface.
I mean, it's pretty exciting stuff.
It's, I think it is.
It's straight out of science fiction.
So we'll probably be following along as different things happen. I'm assuming
that NASA will provide updates when they have an equipment failure and how they
manage it or when they test them with something that is unforeseen and they
run these simulations to see how people respond. I'm assuming that they'll keep
the public updated on that. And if I can find press releases or whatever, any kind of information,
I will pass that along to you. Interesting times. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all
have a good day.
