Please read the news release listed below about a group of scientists and a journalist who were in a yearlong simulation of living on Mars. Based on what you have learned from the course thus far about Mars and the Earth system, and other fact-based information that you may find on the Internet, answer the following questions:
Do you think they have a true or good “real to life” experience of what it would be like to live on Mars for a year? Why or why not? How could concepts of an Earth system (or, in this case, “Mars system”), impact what they would actually experience on Mars?
