Misleading headline. It's an isolation experiment, and the six person team are not astronauts. Only in the loosest sense is it preparing anyone to go to Mars, or simulating life on Mars. It's also not even the longest to date.[1]
[1] "Other simulation experiments have taken place under the ocean off the Florida coast, in Antarctica and in Russia, where a 520-day Mars experiment was carried out in 2011."
- Kenji 11y ago>where a 520-day Mars experiment was carried out in 2011 They sure crammed a lot of days into that year.
- joshrotenberg 11y agoThe wonder of freeze-drying time.
- qbrass 11y agoThat's like 3/4 of a Martian year.
- anigbrowl 11y agoThe inaccurate headline was carelessness on my part. Sorry about that.
