it s tough. what are some of the challenges of being in one space and one time that long? you know one of the big things is can people get along? i m here in tucson. and in tucson we have biosphere two which was not really a nasa project but there were eight people that were put in the relatively small environment, much bigger than what is on mauna loa, and they started to quickly have interpersonal problems. we ve seen it on the space station as well or in the close quarters of a space shuttle. when you re going to mars, there s no turning back and replacing one crew with another. we have to come up with strategies on how do we mitigate against these interpersonal issues and how do we work together effectively as a team in a really harsh environment? it gives new meaning to lord of the flies or fliers let s hope not. absolutely. so your brother, you mentioned him, captain scott kelly is spending a year on the
