Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Mars simulation scientists emerge to feel
the wind on their faces
For an eight-long-month of complete isolation
from the world, would you prefer being alone or with five others? A tough
choice, isn’t it? Either way, it would be extremely challenging physically and
mentally. But that’s what future astronauts need to bear with when they make a
long journey to and spend time in Mars. In order to learn what sort of direct
and side effects could occur to humans, six scientists spent eight months in a solar-powered
dome in Hawaii without any contacts to or from outside. They wore a heavy and
clumsy spacesuit whenever they went out like they might do if they stationed in
Mars.
What do you think is the hardest part? What
did they miss the most?
Enjoy reading and learning this
extraordinarily unusual experiment.
