[@fkhan952]

I was interning at NASA this summer and actually was in the same building as CHAPEA most of the time so I can't describe how genuinely weird it was seeing an HAI video zoom into where I drove to everyday for like two months. There's another analog in the same hanger called HERA which simulates a similar situation to CHAPEA except for much shorter durations (45 days) but in a more cramped space (Think like a spacecraft capsule vs a Mars house) and that's what I was working on. Funny enough, CHAPEA also has a PS4 in there and they were asking for game donations just before their missions started. I know HERA has a locked off Netflix account and I think also Prime video (maybe?) that the crew can watch stuff on in their free time so I wouldn't be too surprised if CHAPEA has the same. Also tripped on the stairs and fell behind their habitat one day getting to the workshop behind the building so I hope they didn't notice but 🤫. Honestly HERA is also pretty interesting (1/3 as interesting maybe?) since they're been doing the experiments for some time now so there's more that's been done and the experiments themselves have also shifted over time too.

[@thatjeff7550]

Cool, so maybe you have some answers to what I asked in a separate comment. Is NASA researching how this 3D printing will work in a very cold environment? How do they plan to mix up the slurry if they can't find accessible water in the proposed Martian site? How are they going to handle the perchlorates in the Martian soil? Is this material going to have the same issue as what Biosphere 2 had with their concrete construction, namely that the material locks in oxygen gas? I imagine CAPEA is mainly to focus on studying the human aspects of Martian settlement but I'd also like to hear about the logistical parts as well. And thanks in advance.

[@Cats-TM]

Questions if you can answer…what games did they get? Also, how would they stream shows if there is a 22 minute delay to the outside world? Would NASA just download hundreds upon hundreds of hours of content if ever we were to go to Mars?

[@ssrbgangimaribotan6thofthe12]

@@Cats-TM most likely thew have to predownload them lol, like a hardrive or SD dedicated just for entertainment. Cause they have to wait 22 minutes of loading for streaming service anything XD

[@fkhan952]

@@thatjeff7550 From what I gathered, the purpose of the analog experiments in genera; is more centered around the people rather than the other tech so the rest of it besides maybe the habitat feels secondary. The company that was contracted to make the CHAPEA habitat is called ICON and they have more information on the construction on their website. They refer to the design as "Mars Dune Alpha". Johnson Space Center does have an in situ resource utilization branch which is probably closer to what you are asking about though, but I don't think they were involved with the construction of CHAPEA exactly.

[@fkhan952]

@@Cats-TM I didn't know any of the folks working over there despite being in the same building so I'm not sure what games they ended up getting 😅. Their comm delay is 22 minutes but that is entirely artificial and only on certain things probab;l. I don't know how but it's probably not too complicated to have a device that just has access to Netflix and like nothing else and is just connected to the internet normally. Also I doubt NASA would download hundreds of hours of content on the way to Mars, the psychological aspects of long duration spaceflight are extremely important (and what is probably mostly being studied) but also it costs like thousands of dollars to send a pound of stuff into space and the astronauts will probably be busy anyways. I'm sure they'll have SOME entertainment somehow, so maybe they'd just send up a pre-loaded drive, but I doubt that it'd be super high priority.

[@Chucklet11]

@@midnightsocean2689 It's not moot, it's an extremely valuable experiment that recreates many of the psychological stresses a real crew might experience on mars. It's just not a perfect analogue, particularly for the reason the above commenter gave. But much of the source of the stress is living in a confined space with others for a long duration and knowing it will be a long time until you can leave. You can study some of this from e.g. submarine crews but those are generally much larger. TL;DR Even though it doesn't perfectly recreate all of the potential sources of psychological stress, it still isn't moot.

You realize this video will be used as a source proving a conspiracy theory in 15 years that we "never landed on Mars!" Because that's how stupid theorists can be

[@EnigmaticLucas]

Those conspiracy theories would be slightly more plausible than the moon landing ones. In 1969, it would have been harder to accurately fake it than it would be to actually do it.

[@Treviisolion]

There’s a decent chance that in 15 years that if we’ve landed on Mars we’ll have a semi-permanent base on Mars as thanks to launch windows you can’t just arrive, snap a few selfies, grab a few souvenirs (i.e. rocks), drive around a bit, then go home like we were able to do with the Moon missions. Any mission to Mars would last for months at a minimum. So the conspiracy theory will be that there are no people on Mars.

[@Br3ttM]

Conspiracy theorists aren't stupid, they have psychological or neurological issues that lead to paranoid conspiracy, and predisposed to think they're special enough to discover a secret that regular people don't, or find other people who think like them. Then it's just self-reinforcing, charlatans, and trolls making the theories spread and expand.

[@annaharjuvaara130]

3:49 "Hey, who turned off the lights?"

[@LENZ5369]

That flow chart may indicate a problem with their selection methodology. Similar to the early astronauts, they may end up with individuals who very capable and qualified but also rather troubled psychologies and personal lives...and potential years in deep space is alot. The starting point should be physiology and personality, everything else can be learnt or trained in the many years it takes to ready a mission -if they happen to already have that education/training; it's just a bonus.

[@jhtv5757]

are you implying that STEM field people have troubled pscyhologies and personal lives? Cause if so you might be right

[@SB-bk4tp]

You know I think it should be a mixture of both. After all I believe that it might come in handy having somebody up there who can perform emergency surgery

[@leosong829]

think about it like a job position. most job postings don't put personality as the minimum requirements. they put qualifications like degrees, or years in the field. im sure they screen for these more objective things after the first rounds of objective qualifications. like they aren't just accepting anyone who has a stem degree. furthermore taking a person and putting hundreds of thousands of dollars to train them is a big risk. they may not have the aptitude to be able to complete such training, or change their minds over what looks to be nearly a decade of learning/practical application. or they may change their physiology or personality during that that time. plus it would require them to invest in a group of people for years. this thus seems like taking a good personality and giving them training to be pretty hard. they would want to start with those who already have that education or training and screen for those who have the right personality and physical health. the requirements don't even seem too hard, just grad school plus a couple years of applied work. doesn't seem that much more than most intermediate level jobs in stem fields

[@Treviisolion]

It is much cheaper and easier to screen the astronauts they have, that have already undergone a decade or more of higher education and training, to find those suited for deep space missions a year or two before the mission is launched, than to find random people on the street suited for a deep space mission a decade or more before the mission and force them through the ringer of higher education and (typically) military flight school, with the hope that they’re still suited for a deep space mission once they’re out the other end.

[@davidhildebrandt7812]

These qualifications (being a physician, pilot or having a master's in some STEM field) aren't all that rare, and it's not like most of these people are mentally disturbed. I'm sure they'll find someone.

Hot take, teach individuals who are ready for that environment how to do the needed stem tasks instead of sending scientists up there and hoping they make it. There’s no way that early missions will have the facilities needed to do big-brain science. They will probably mostly be sample collectors and work to setup and maintain scientific equipment that can take readings. I recommend sub-mariners, non supported polar explorers and climbers, long distance small-craft sailors (they know how to fix some stuff under bad conditions let me tell ya), and probably most of all a construction worker from Michigan. 😂 Listen hear me out, if you just a lot enough payload to cheap beer you won’t even need to bring a doctor it’s not like they go to the doctors’ anyway.
