This is the best summary I could come up with:
To loud applause, the four volunteers left NASA-built Mars Dune Alpha, where they had spent the past 378 days completely isolated from the outside world.
The habitat is a 3D-printed facility, complete with bedrooms, a gym, common areas, and a vertical farm for growing food.
Anca Selariu, Ross Brockwell, Nathan Jones and team leader Kelly Haston have spent the last year growing vegetables, conducting “Marswalks” and operating under what NASA calls “additional stressors.”
“We can use our senses of wonder and purpose, to achieve peace and prosperity and to unlock knowledge and joy for the benefit of everyone in every part of planet Earth,” he added.
Julie Kramer, NASA’s director of engineering, said the project “gives us an opportunity to learn all these critical things about these complex systems, and it’s going to make going to Mars and back a lot safer.”
As part of its Artemis program, the US plans to send humans back to the Moon to learn how to live there long-term.
