NASA selects four people for a simulated mission to Mars' moon Phobos that will see them trapped in a capsule four times smaller than a tennis court for 45 DAYS

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.

A curtain will be put up to separate the designated sex module


Works for the first few days, but after than, in one frenzy, or another gets torn it down and used it as a prop in some role play sex fantasy.

Let’s see...

Three women and one guy.

For 45 days in an area less than 700 sq. ft.

Hopefully their return trip doesn’t take 9 months.

There is a downside here...

5.56mm

> Putting ONE man in a confined space with THREE semi-hot to hot WOMEN is brutal torture for him UNLESS HE IS GAY.

To simulate a Phobos mission accurately, the simulation should be performed for 550-650 days, not 45 days.

At 550 days with this ratio, if there is any privacy anywhere, imho the guy has a near 100% chance of scoring even if does not lift a finger in their direction. more likely, it would eventually settle down to tag team scheme.

even at 45 days, imho they are already aware of this, and everyone has already packed vitamin V or BCPs in their personal toilet kits.

ok, back to reality, since NASA would not pay for a sure thing for the guy, maybe they are all gay. so hopefully they have internet since the guy would still be “blue.”

(Observation: a single gender all gay crew would solve all of the “tension” issues... just saying...)

> Trap me in a capsule with Marie Osmond for 45 days.

She is (wiki check...) 61yo. Maybe you would like a hot tub time machine to go with that request? lol

That’s why walk is in quotes.
That would be quite impressive though.
Single cell to walking in 45 days...

“four times smaller”?

I’m no NASA scientist, but would that be the same as one fourth the size of?

Marie and I had a torrid love affair back when we were teens.

OK

She looked at me once at a concert.

At least I think she looked at me.

She might have been looking at the guy beside me who lit his beard on fire.

Regardless……

Why am I reminded of the end of Dr. Strangelove?
Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ration of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?

Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

DeSadeski: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

They must be prepared in case humanity is wiped out by the newest "accidental" release from a Chinese biowarfare lab. Strangelove:

We hate to see our minds go into the gutter over what happens in that capsule........... But it’s a fact, 1 man and 3 women will be there.

They should be put under realistic group stress.

For example, on the 2nd day, inform them that there is a significant chance that an asteroid hit the station 40 days from that day.

Then, stand back and observe the “teamwork” that develops.

(The “teamwork” should be videotaped.)

(From several different angles.)

(And uploaded to the internet.)

(For science.)

Great idea! We should keep this going, and then submit the script to hollywood... or at least to san fernando valley...

Its just reality and a reflection on how low our culture has sunk. In days of yore, it would be 3 men, no women. Tomorrow, it will be four women, no men.

The Navy probably has data on this subject. /s
Leave it to the government to waste time and money. Then again their data concerns roughly six months at a time-not 45 days.. can’t extrapolate that data…
