Researchers say results of the study will help them better understand the physical and mental effects on humans spending extended periods in space.
The experiment is part of NASA’s Human Research Program. The program seeks to discover and develop “the best methods and technologies to support safe, productive human space travel.”
Until now, American astronauts have only spent long space stays on the International Space Station – ISS. Most of these missions lasted several months, with the longest reaching nearly a year.
Quote: It’s not an exact simulation. You won’t be bombarded by radiation 24/7 like you would be in space and you won’t suffer from bone density degradation from a zero-G environment. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

IIRC this was the first episode of "The Twilight Zone." The President is a fink. |
