[Epoch Times August 08, 2021](Reported by Epoch Times reporter Chen Juncun) Do you yearn for extraterrestrial life and want to live on Mars for a period of time? The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is recruiting willing masters to join its simulated Mars exploration mission. The recruited candidates will live in a Mars-like environment for one year, and their performance during this time will be used as a reference for future Mars exploration missions.
In order to prepare to send astronauts to Mars in the future, NASA will start recruiting 4 salaried personnel from August 6th. It is expected to live in the “Mars Dune Alpha” for one year from the fall of 2022 to simulate being on Mars. On life.
“Mars Alpha Dune” is located in the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA. It is a 1,700 square foot (158 square meter), 3D printed Martian habitat.
These four people will conduct simulated Mars exploration missions, including space walks, communication delays, limited food and resources, and equipment failures. NASA will use this to study how these people respond to the harsh environment.
Grace Douglas, the chief scientist in charge of researching advanced food technology at the Jensen Space Center, said: “Simulation on Earth will help us understand and overcome the physical and psychological difficulties of astronauts before they set off.”
Judging from the application conditions listed by NASA, they are not looking for ordinary people. Applicants must have the following conditions: (1) have the status of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident; (2) have a master’s degree in science, engineering, and mathematics; (3) have flying experience; (4) be between 30 and 55 Between the ages, in good health, no eating problems, and no airsickness.
Chris Hadfield, a former Canadian astronaut who spent five months at the International Space Station in 2013, told the Associated Press that this means that NASA is looking for talent close to astronauts.
For how to complete this simulation task, Hadfield believes that attitude is the key. He said that these four participants must be very capable, witty, and feel comfortable without relying on others.
