NASA crew completes year-long simulated Mars mission in Houston habitat

Four engineers exited a 158-square-metre 3D-printed habitat at NASA's Johnson Space Center on 31 October after more than a year inside, completing the second in a series of simulated Mars missions. During the mission, the crew grew their own food, ran science experiments, conducted simulated 'Marswalks' and endured communication delays of 13-22 minutes as well as a planned two-week blackout mimicking real Mars-Earth conditions.
