hese experiments are designed to give agencies a better idea of how humans would interact and cope during a long space journey.
The volunteer research subjects start their virtual journey to Phobos on October 1, in a ground-based habitat at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
Their home for the 45 days will be a small habitat called the Human Exploration Research Analog, or HERA - with collected data informing the design of future missions to the Red Planet, expected to happen in the 2030s.
HERA is a two-story, four-port cylindrical habitat unit with a total of 636 sq. ft of living space, designed to replicate the living space on a long duration spaceship.

"trapped in a capsule one-fourth the size of a tennis court for 45 days"
Is this a test run for a Mars mission, or the next Covid lockdown?

One guy and 3 hot women? Will be absolutely platonic relationships, right?

One guy and four chicks? If that was me, with my luck, the three chicks would all be lesbians. 45 days of watching girl on girl.

Putting ONE man in a confined space with THREE semi-hot to hot WOMEN is brutal torture for him UNLESS HE IS GAY.
Looks more like a foursome to me, lol.

Trap me in a capsule with Marie Osmond for 45 days.
Yeah…..I know…..she’d eject me out the garbage chute.
A guy can dream.

The idea that
Phobos First still even exists conceptually at NASA is a hoot.
Musk will poach one or two of them though.
