Crew exits NASA's 378-day simulated Mars mission

The four-person crew of NASA's CHAPEA simulated Mars mission has emerged from their habitat in Houston after 378 days of isolation. The volunteers lived inside a 3D-printed facility designed to mimic conditions on Mars, complete with resource restrictions, simulated spacewalks and communication delays. NASA says the data on their physical and mental health will help prepare for future crewed missions to the Red Planet.

Why now: The crew's long-awaited emergence from a year-plus of confinement marks a milestone for NASA's Mars preparation efforts.
