Description
NASA is set to launch a 45-day simulated Mars mission with a diverse crew at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. This groundbreaking endeavor will test human endurance and adaptability in isolation, while providing insights into the challenges astronauts may face on their journey to the Red Planet. The crew will engage in innovative tasks, including raising shrimp and growing vegetables, all while experiencing communication delays that mimic deep space travel. Join us as we explore the personal stories of the crew members and the scientific advancements that could shape the future of interplanetary travel.Sources:https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/nasa-selects-crew-for-45-day-simulated-mars-mission-in-houston/https://www.eldiario24.com/en/nasa-discovers-that-mars-is-not-red/1978/Outline:(00:00:00) Introduction(00:00:40) NASA Selects Crew for 45-Day Simulated Mars Mission in Houston(00:03:25) NASA discovers that Mars is not red: These blue rocks are a sign that there is something else
