NASA Recruits For Yearlong Simulated Mars Mission

Are John Iadarola and Jordan Uhl going to Mars or maybe a warehouse in Texas? They break it down on The Damage Report. 

"If you’ve ever dreamed of what it might be like to live on another world, here’s your chance. Applications are now open to participate as a crew member in NASA’s first one-year simulation of living on Mars.

If you succeed, you’ll be one of four people living and working in a habitat called Mars Dune Alpha at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Applications are open through September 17, and the mission is slated to begin in fall 2022."

We should send only our best, most important people to Mars.
Youtubers, telephone sanitizers, account executives, hairdressers, TV producers, insurance salesmen, personal officers, security guards, public relations executives, management consultants, ect.

Sign me up! Already tube fed, intolerant to gravity (thanks post viral dysautonomia) and love to sleep. I'd be great.

The rich people are all going to take Mars so they don't have to see us and they'll leave us with stinky old Venus, which I am 98% certain smells like a giant fart.

Hey, it's bigger than the apartment I've been cooped up in for the last year and a half, so...

[CharlesGriswold]

We could make it into a reality show. Who will be the first to be voted out the airlock?

[artificialintelligenceneur]

I would definitely do it but it must be an exact replica

[AdamasOldblade]

They don’t accept alcoholics. I am out.

More than anything else, we need a much faster transport to get to Mars. Current modes are completely INadequate.

Can we get Bezos, Musk and Branson all on the first flight and they can sort out the pecking order when they get there?

[russellzauner]

*Pauly Shore and 3 lesser Baldwins have entered chat*

Isn't the video's thumbnail the moon?!

[aliwright]

Send Bezos, Branson and musk ...do it now...for me😄

[mambojazz]

Dear TYT: Stop attacking Besos for doing the US government was too cheap to do!! Blame NASA not Besos! Besos has been working on space travel for 21 years already!

Has anybpdy considered simulating "living" in a space the size of a tuna can for the five years it would take just to get there?

[Ass_of_Amalek]

no mention of biosphere 2? john, you don't know your space trivia.

[kirmie]

I feel like you guys don't understand the point of this habit

[wilsonweiseng]
