Robots are the future of mars to tell us not to go there!

Dang, this is more detailed than modern Hollywood movie sets.

…wait a minute…

Make sure to test those airlocks also.

I think we should have bigger priorities such as currently fixing our environmental and economic crisis before we even consider becoming responsible for yet another planet

4 go in and more than four come out 🤔🤔

[seashley]

I love this and space exploration BUT there is nothing on mars and going there is a huge waste of money

[queenbae]

The lack of gravity makes this ridiculous smh

Biosphere 2 did it bigger and better. It still always failed.

[swooleylast]

just remember they are doing this because they cant actually go to fake mars 😂😂

[omalley]

Seriously? Wasn't NASA commissioned to map the ocean originally.? Why is it no one wants to know what is on our own planet before going somewhere else.

Nasa painted the sand? How much did that cost for us tax payers? They should send do their training in the middle of the most harsh deserts in the middle of nowhere, where the temperatures go from scorching hot during the day to freezing nights and those sand storms with cero visibility. They might not last a day there. That’s probably the closest to a strange place in other world don’t you think so? 😂

without the same gravity this is basically pointless testing
