From rooms to red sand, NASA unveils 'Mars' habitat on Earth

NASA has unveiled a Mars-simulation habitat, where volunteers will live for a year to test what life will be like on future missions to Mars. The facility, called "Mars Dune Alpha," is located at NASA's research base in Houston, Texas. Four volunteers will begin the first trial this summer, during which NASA plans to monitor their physical and mental health to better understand humans' fortitude for such a long isolation. The habitat was 3D-printed, and there is an airlock that leads to an "outdoor" reconstruction of the Martian environment.
