Our brains in space
Right now NASA is working on a huge project to get people to Mars. Before we can send anyone out to deep space we need to see if the mind can handle it. To find out NASA sent 6 people (3 men and 3 women) to a dome for 8 months. The dome is just like how it would be on mars and there isn’t very much space there is only 1,462 square feet of living space in the whole dome. They are doing this experiment on top of a volcano in Hawaii, it is supposed to the most martian like environment we have on earth. This experiment can provide a lot of data to researchers who are trying to get these 6 people to mars. Some of the information they can get is how much they interact with other people, what they like to eat, how loud they talk to other people and much more.
I thought that this article was very interesting because I think the experiment they are doing is very cool. I also think it would be awesome if we ever did get anyone on Mars.
