Israeli researchers prepare for life on Mars

A group of scientists spent four days in the arid desert as they sought to prepare for future life in Mars's environment, where conditions might be very similar here.

A group of six Israeli researchers spent four days in the Negev desert, severed from social contact, which simulated conditions for Mars.

This desert is the perfect place to complete the Martian mission because it is similar to the Red Planet in terms of dryness, geology and landscape.

During their stay, researchers were equipped with full astronaut suits whenever they had to leave the bag they were in.

These "astronauts" also eat food that can only be transported to Mars in the first place, such as non-perishable food in capsules, and live in tight areas during the event. The project is called D-Mars .

Participants Guy Ron, professor of nuclear physics at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel, said: " D-Mars is half of research, and the other half is about access. An important part of projections. This project is to attract public interest and students are interested in space ".

Dr. Hillel Rubinstein, the field commander and head of Israel's mission, described D-Mars as "a particularly interesting experience, a great team".

Previously, NASA said that they aim to bring the first person to somewhere on Mars in the middle of 2030 and 2040.

Elon Musk's SpaceX has the financial power to reach the 'neighbor' next to Earth and target people to the Red Planet around 2030. These first people will be tasked with starting construction. a new civilization.

Initial estimates show that humans will take about 9 months to go to Mars.
