NASA crew emerge after 378 days inside Mars simulation

Original: They spent more than a year inside a NASA hangar in Houston simulating life on Mars. Now, they’re finally out | Houston

The four crew members of NASA's CHAPEA mission have left the 1,700-square-foot habitat inside a Houston hangar where they spent 378 days simulating life on Mars. They lived and worked under Mars-like conditions, and their data on food, health and teamwork will inform planning for future crewed missions to the Red Planet.

Why now: The crew's long-awaited exit from the Mars simulation is a rare milestone for NASA's human spaceflight research.
