NASA will pay volunteers to spend eight months locked up in a simulated spacecraft on its way to Mars. But how much is it willing to pay? What are the requirements? Find out.
Future human missions to Mars might be possible within the next decade and astronomers are already prepping for it. A major problem would be the radiation on the planet, but a recent study suggests that astronauts could seek temporary shelter in Mars' natural lava tubes.

Stanford Professor warns that samples from Mars should be treated as if tey are Ebola virus from space until proven safe to prevent alien virus from contaminating Earth.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) golden idea: use MOXIE, a golden box made out of gold to create oxygen that Mars explorers will use to move and breathe on Mars.

Images were captured documenting the situation from every angle, even evaluated the soil and the rocks in the area and mimicked those characteristics here on Earth to do some testing. As if like the mole is already tired of the whole mission, the camera was able to document that the mole popped out of Martian crust.
The journal details the findings that were collected by the modified MAVEN spacecraft from 2016 to 2018 and there were a lot of surprises for the astronomers.
Astronomers believed that these dust particles once trapped water vapor and had used these dust towers like an elevator to rise to the planet's atmosphere where solar radiation would eventually break their molecules apart.
Researchers from Brown University developed a technique that will help scientists find rare and hard-to-detect mineral data taken from the orbiting spacecraft.
