Ready to embark on a cosmic adventure? The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking volunteers for a special mission to the Red Planet. That’s right, you can now potentially go live on Mars, or at least, a very close version of it.
Last Friday (February 16), NASA announced that it was seeking applicants to participate in its next simulated one-year Mars surface mission to help gather information that will be useful for planning actual human missions to the real Mars in the future.
This is the second of three missions that are part of the agency’s CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) missions. CHAPEA’s assignments are ground-based simulations designed to replicate the challenges of a real mission to Mars.
