. The next step, after reaching the Moon again, is to send humans to Mars. Now NASA is sending four volunteers to a Mars simulation to prepare for such a mission.
One of the biggest hurdles facing NASA and astronauts who want to travel to Mars is more limited resources. The further we get from Earth, the harder it is to send massive loads of resources out with the spacecraft carrying these astronauts. As such, the volunteers of this Mars simulation will need to grow their own food.
