But that would cost a lot of money and people do not know if humans can live in such isolation. So, in order to simulate what life on Mars would be like, NASA recruited six people to live in a dome near a barren volcano.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8642\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8642\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/1440807195629.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/1440807195629.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/1440807195629-529x300.jpg 529w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/1440807195629-600x340.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/1440807195629-85x48.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8642\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/is13.snstatic.fi\/img\/978\/1440807195629.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Brave Team<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The team is made of four Americans &#8211; a pilot, an architect, a journalist and a soil scientist &#8211; a French astrobiologist, and a German physicist.
