Do
you like science and are a quasi-hermit? Because NASA has a job for you.
The
agency is looking for four people to take part in a yearlong mission that simulates living on Mars so that it can study problems that could emerge during future journeys to the Red Planet.
As
NPR reports, the four crew members will spend a year in a “3D-printed, 1,700-square-foot module called Mars Dune Alpha, based at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.” The crew “might perform tasks, such as simulated spacewalks, using virtual reality and robotic controls,
exchanging communications and conducting other research.”
