One of the first things that would have to be fine for the screening process of people going on this mission would be to find those that are ambivert in personality social skills. An ambivert is just as fine being alone as a introvert but has the want to be around others. This tendency will allow for the extreme isolation that the crew members will have to deal with but the fact that there is a crew will keep them socially active. If you were to send a pure introvert they wouldn't want to work in a team if you sent an extrovert they'd be so lonely they die. This is why you need to find the best of both worlds someone who can deal with isolation and be perfectly fine but wants to work in a team and is capable of doing so.

@@Leyrann that doesn't justify inhumane treatment. Detention is one thing - inhumane treatment is another. I know some people are evil for lack of a better word but most are not, and you can't fix evil imo you can just keep them in a facility where they can't do any more harm. I understand the desire for revenge for truly evil acts, but they are already paying for their choices by losing their future. We don't need to subject them to further harm intentionally. In the worst cases I'm sure they would deserve it, but I'd prefer to let other inmates make that decision. Official prison policies should remain civilized, bec otherwise abusive treatment becomes normalized in general and can be applied to the average inmate. I believe there are many abusive and unjust standards and policies that are par for the course in most US prisons today. This isn't right. Most inmates aren't evil per se but disturbed or simply made a wrong choice. Detention may be called for, but intentional abuse is not. Traumatizing someone on purpose is also a crime - and it's no way to attempt to fix someone who may well be fixable. Only actual rehabilitation and getting them to face the consequences of their choices does. Also, most people are locked up for pretty petty reasons. Not all- but most in my opinion. Once you start learning the facts of the mass industrial incarceration system you'll see this very quickly. In short - if a person is capable of improving only humane treatment will help them reach that point. Opportunities, recreation, work training, basic life skills training, education, counseling, constructive therapy programs, and healthcare. If we want people to make different choices in life we have to give them the tools, it's that simple. It's the difference between constructive detention and just warehousing people and treating them like animals without rights. One is right and actually helps to fix a problem, and the other doesn't and just keeps the cycle going.

@@YourCapyFrenBigly_3DPipes1999- Ya, except solitary confinement is often used for insanely violent offenders who pose a risk to everyone in the prison, and there is literally no way to ensure safety without it in some cases. Sure, it shouldn’t be used with abandon, but this idea we can reform everyone is simply a myth. It reminds me of people who think drug decriminalization is some amazing solution to drug abuse. People would not shut up about Portugal until parts of Canada and Oregon tried the same thing. It was so bad that Oregon decriminalized drugs and Canada is seeing horrendous problems because of its policies. Many people can’t be reformed. Short prison sentences are often disparaged by Europeans because they make committing crime extremely lucrative as there is no real deterrent. People want easy, simple answers to problems which are enormously complex. Second order and third order effects are rarely considered because people want to think they have out smarted the system and could easily fix large societal problems. Also, very few people are in prison for “petty” reasons. Hardly any people in prison (not jail) for simple drug possession. It is a majority of violent and serious crimes. Progressive policies in general like bail reform have proven to be disastrous in almost all cases. There is a fundamental disconnect from reality with progressives and a hopelessly naive view that the vast majority of humans are good and just need some guidance. Many, many people are not empathetic to others and they will not be reformed. Look at Sweden now that immigrants have flooded the country from a different people/culture. They suddenly changed from being the “moral superpower” of the world to tightening immigration and changing their attitudes towards crime and punishment. Many people see soft approaches as an exploit to be used whenever possible, while progressives just cannot accept these facts of reality.

I'd also point out a few non-NASA experiments done - I think there was one called BioSphere2 (I may have the name wrong). Many efforts were made to create a habitat that did NOT interact with the outside world, completely self sufficient in terms of power, food, water. I don't recall right now if there was much in the way of "mission control" but I think maybe not. Within weeks, the ten people locked in there were at each other's throats, what had started out as a fairly reasonable and structured crew had split into two very, very angry factions, and it was just bad. I don't THINK anybody died but I remember reading that no one who participated considered the experiment a success in ANY sense of the word.

On my third run with the Blue Crew of an SSBN in 1974 in the North Atlantic, we had a psychiatrist on board. Around the halfway mark of that 78-day run, he had begun to eat with the Enlisted. A fellow Machinist Mate and I were having dinner with him, and he launched into a tirade about how we were all insane. When he paused for breath my friend said, "You are just as crazy as we are." I will never forget the look of shock on his face. He quit eating with us. The next patrol cycle was 100 days: 30 days of refit, and a run of 70 continuous underwater extending submerged time by 10 days.

The problem with this subject is that it makes so many unchallenged assumptions, beginning with whether or not it is even worthwhile to conduct manned exploration of space, given the laws of Physics. Sadly, a lot of people without a solid foundational education in Physics assume that technology will simply continue to get "better", because our past experiences of technology have created a steady progression. But, we are approaching the point with our understanding of the universe that we know to a very fine degree how little there is left to know about the universe that we can meaningfully affect, due to the simply nature of the amount of energy it requires to do anything at an interplanetary scale. There is no "magic" energy source and there isn't ever going to be a "hyperdrive" or "warp drive" that enables travel at a significant fraction of the speed of light, let alone faster than light travel. And even if it were possible to create distortions in spacetime, we already understand that the energy levels which would be required for that to happen are not attainable by human tools, probably not even if you have deluded yourself into thinking humans will ever be able to build a sustainable fusion reactor, let alone one small enough to outfit a spacecraft. Many of the psychological problems that this type of research is attempting to solve arise out of the simple fact that the only people who are ever going to be considered for manned space missions are themselves elites with huge egos and towering senses of entitlement engendered by their supposed merit. Such people are inevitably going to create conflict between each other. These are people who are inherently competitive and combative, and putting them into a pressure cooker is guaranteed to cause an explosion, at some point. Yes, literally a pressure cooker, because that's really what a spacecraft is, in the first place-a pressurized, heated containment vessel. There are millions, billions of people here on Earth who every single day are facing the very same psychological, technical, and resources challenges that manned exploration of space entails; however, we as a society are spending billions of dollars on novel technologies in an attempt to alleviate these challenges for a minuscule, elite cohort, instead of investing in the proven, non-technological solutions we know would alleviate these conditions for billions of people on Earth. Comparing 17th Century exploration to 21st Century exploration is comparing apples to oranges. For one thing, we have radios, now, which would make communications possible even between Mars and Earth in less than 1 hour, something Henry Hudson couldn't have enjoyed beyond a few miles' radius, at best, in his time. And yet, even though we figured out how to communicate with a spacecraft outside the Solar System some 45 years ago, we still struggle to provide reliable communications to the people of Earth, still today-not because we don't know how, but because we don't believe everyone deserves it. It's not a technological problem, it's a political problem, caused by psychological problems in the hearts and minds of those who wield social, cultural, political, and economic power right here on Earth.

There is huge difference between having the physics to explain something and developing a technology. While physics theory can explain much of the universe between very small and very large scales, it's not useful for predicting all the possible phenomena that can happen, eg, biology and chemistry are still scientific pursuits, even though the fundamental physics of both is known. Developing technologies is of course applying these phenomena for some purpose, and just because the energies required for "warp drive" or conventional interstellar travel are immense, there may be other ways to achieve the results that we haven't thought of yet. Similar to saying "why should we go to the moon, we know what it is", some of the benefits of addressing the challenge are the technologies developed along the way. While I agree that the climate change and other problems on Earth are more immediate, we can actually do more than one thing at a time. And while I'm not sure that the reasons for colonizing Mars are completely sensible, there can be benefits from the effort which can repay some of the investment even if colonization never happens.

There are several things that can make a positive outcome more likely, starting with the careful selection of the crew in the first place. Chances are good that those selected will go through a six-month confinement in similar facilities in the arctic for observation first. Each person can be given a private space each day for a period of time where they can be alone and listen to music, watch videos, etc. Virtual reality headsets can transport the crew anywhere that the software choses, allowing them to escape the feelings of confinement for a while on a daily basis. A bigger concern might be the risk of dying from radiation from a solar flare or being dangerously weak unless some sort of artificial gravity (such as a rotating space craft) is not provided to keep muscles toned.

The idea of space exploration in general seems ridiculous. Humans can't live anywhere other than Earth in our solar system. It's not possible to travel to worlds outside the solar system within a human lifetime and it's likely physically impossible to ever travel fast enough to be able to do so and even if somehow we did make it to some other world the chances of it being something that won't kill us immediately aren't zero but might as well be. I've never understood comparing space travel to sailing on the ocean like somehow we'll just sail through space like we did the oceans. The idea's just nonsense. Space isn't an ocean. It's a literal endless cold hostile mostly empty void where things are so far apart our brains can't even properly comprehend it.
