140 million miles away never felt closer.
Stories from the edge of possibility, from the people preparing to call Mars home.
Inside the NASA Analogs
Go behind the scenes of NASA’s analog simulations at their Johnson Space Center. Recorded on site at JSC, this month’s Inside the Habitat brings you inside two of NASA’s most important human spaceflight analog programs. I sit down with Dr. Grace Douglas from CHAPEA and Dr. Brandon Vessey from HERA to explore how NASA is preparing people, not just rockets, for permanent life on the Moon and Mars. From 3D-printed habitats and future food systems to isolation, teamwork, and psychological resilience, we examine the human side of becoming a multiplanetary species. Plus, get an exciting first glimpse at what comes next as NASA builds on both programs with MMEA, the Moon and Mars Exploration Analog.
From dreamers to doers, here are their stories.
