Here’s How NASA Is Preparing for Life on Mars

Two recent events: the release of the scientifically-accurate Matt Damon blockbuster The Martian plus the discovery of not just water but salty wateron Mars, make NASA’s HI-SEAS (Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation) doubly relevant. Over 7,000 scientists applied, and six scientists were chosen to live in isolation for eight months–the longest simulation of it’s kind in history.

The experiment confines the six of them on a dome-shaped habitat on Mauna Kea, a barren, Mars-like dormant volcano on Hawaii. Their goal of the experiment is to see how humans react in isolation during the long distances and times required for a trip to Mars.
