"Eventually people will be living on Mars": Chris Hadfield talks NASA's simulated red planet
A four-person crew re-emerged on Saturday at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston to applause, after staying in a simulated Mars habitat to study and conduct experiments for about one year.
The team of Kelly Haston, Anca Selariu, Ross Brockwell, and Nathan Jones entered their 3D-printed habitat on June 25, 2023, as part of the first Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA) mission.
During their stay, the crew simulated life and resource limitations on Mars, which included growing and harvesting vegetables, going on “Marswalks” and communication delays with Earth, according to NASA.
Retired Canadian astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield joined Global's Antony Robart to discuss the mission and other space-related topics.

I'm sure we'll disagree on mostly everything.. But I'll agree with that. F Space. It's "cool" and all, but ew.
Humans have yet to rise to the challenges on earth as a habitat. Mars? A mirage in space!

"We need a real driving purpose to go"...Like let's say, our own planet will become uninhabitable? This is the new reality that will drive us to move someday. But with our sun dying, one day, we'll have no choice but to find another planet system to live in. And so on, and so on...
I'd like to see a realistic Mars habitat. The habitat would have to be a safe distance from a ship. Be interesting to see a simulation like that.

my concern is the the lower gravity will have detrimental health effects on the colonists. a permanent cenerfuge habitat in orbit simulating 1 G is where they should actually live. while traveling to the surface for limited time for research then return to orbital habitat.

Our sun will be our on demise some day. Until then, what we need is to secure another planet elsewhere, in another galaxy system while we still can.
We're about Thirty Seconds to Mars.
I was expecting a bunch of necromorph intestine spiders to crawl out... mars is dead for a reason.
So we're "smart" enough to destroy what is pretty much utopia and progress is going to be living on that cold dust peice of crap with no atmosphere, etc. Arrogant.

I like how you summed it up. They're living in a bubble here already.
SpaceX to the rescue. Cue the Thunderbirds theme 🎶
Why would you go from Earths screwed up atmosphere, to Mars who has no atmosphere, living in a bubble is not my idea of fun. Leave it to those who play poker.
According to NASA, it will cost $500 billion to send and return humans to Mars.
Astronot 😁😆🤠

I don't want to live in that future
The human is the weakest link in this fallacy. Space x is a hundred years behind schedule. In 100 years robots should be able to do pretty much what humans can. There shouldnt be much need or use, to have humans on mars. Even then, what good would a desolate rock be? If someone finds a good reason to go, it should be privately funded.
We should be interplanetary species,and stop intercontinental species.
Radiation belt…NASA lost the tech to get through it. Can’t even go to the moon right now.

Mars: a great place to collect a carbon tax. The atmosphere of Mars is the layer of gases surrounding Mars. It is primarily composed of carbon dioxide (95%), molecular nitrogen (2.85%), and argon (2%). It also contains trace levels of water vapor, oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and noble gases.
