Gamers’ dreams have come true, the US recruits people to live on Mars

Gamers’ dream of conquering Mars is getting closer than ever.

Through famous games like Halo, No Man’s Sky or most recently Among Us, many gamers have always dreamed of once traveling and exploring the universe. New planets, new environments and even extraterrestrial creatures, all of which have been an endless source of inspiration for generations of gamers.

Now, gamers’ dream of conquering space is getting closer than ever when the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is recruiting people to “live on Mars”. The number of candidates expected to be selected is 4 and they will have to live in a similar environment on the surface of Mars.

The environment, called Mars Dune Alpha, is 158 square feet and is housed in a building at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. In Mars Dune Alpha, 4 volunteers will have to survive in an environment identical to the Martian surface, from terrain, temperature, light, and atmospheric concentrations. Volunteers will be provided with food, food, water, and a limited number of resources. All will be provided 1 time only and participants will have to use them for 1 year.

In addition to trying to live and adapt to the Martian environment, the volunteers also have an important mission of experimenting with growing some genetically modified plants. These are plants that have been studied and modified to adapt to the Martian environment. If successful, this could be a major turning point on the road to sending humanity into space.

Currently, NASA is still in the process of searching for volunteers. In addition to being physically fit, participants must also have a master’s degree in a science, engineering, or math field, or have pilot experience. The experiment is expected to begin in the fall of this year.
