Train for Mars: Dive into NASA's Simulated Habitat Experience

Think you have what it takes to be an astronaut on Mars? In this groundbreaking initiative, volunteers will spend a year in a simulated Mars habitat in Houston, facing the same hurdles and sacrifices as future astronauts. From the isolation to the limited resources, participants will get a taste of what it takes to live on the Red Planet. As NASA gears up for real missions to Mars in the 2030s, these simulations play a crucial role in understanding the complexities of Martian exploration. If you're between 30 to 55 years old with a science or piloting background, seize this opportunity to qualify and be part of humanity's journey to the stars!

Want to go to Mars? — Or pretend to, anyway? NASA is currently seeking applicants to spend a year in a simulated Mars habitat in Houston. Volunteers for this simulation will have to deal with many of the same difficulties and sacrifices that future Martian astronauts will actually face, such as not being able to see friends and family face-to-face, or having to put on a spacesuit just to go outside, or the seriously limited menu. As NASA prepares to send people to the Red Planet for real, which
it has stated it would like to do as early as the 2030s, it’s first using these simulated missions on Earth to figure out just what life on Mars might be like for those future explorers. And if you're a healthy 30- to 55-year-old with a science or piloting background, you might just qualify.
