Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
NASA starts
year-long isolation to simulate life on Mars
Six people, three
men and three women, have started living in total isolation, for 365 days. They
aren’t family or friends. Once thing common among them is the fact that they volunteered
to put themselves to this experimental project, simulation of what the life
would be like on our neighbor planet, Mars.
They are now
living in a small dome without privacy or any contact with outside. When they
go out, they have to wear a spacesuit. Though where they are is Hawaii, there
are no green plants or live animals because the site is near the volcano in the
big island. Personal conflicts are unavoidable even among those highly intelligent
and motivated specialists, and that is indeed part of the experiment.
Would you be
interested in taking part in such an extreme environment? Maybe with a
smartphone, if it works.
Enjoy reading and
imagining what the life for those brave six volunteers would be like for the
next 12 months.
