Four volunteers have spent 378 days living in a 1,700-square-foot space
3D-printed by NASA to simulate conditions on Mars. Fascinating.

participated in so-called Marswalks and faced stressors that actual
space travelers to Mars could experience, including 22-minute
communication delays with Earth."

Four people in 1700 square feet for over a year? (If it was a SF story,
at least two of them would have gone mad or been killed.)
What about water? Gravity?
There have been previous exercises.
