group of four NASA volunteers has embarked on a 378-day mission in which they will be locked



A group of four NASA volunteers has embarked on a 378-day mission in which they will be locked in a ground-based simulation of the planet Mars. The mission, which began on Sunday, is the first of three year-long Mars surface simulations, according to NASA. During the mission, crew members will live and work in a 3D-printed, 1,700-square-foot habitat. NASA says researchers will simulate the challenges of a human mission to Mars, including resource limitations, equipment failure, and communication delays.
