“We don’t want to be one of those single-planet species. We want to be a multi-planet species.”
- SpaceX founder Elon Musk
NASA has been running Martian mission simulations since 2013 in hopes of determining how an actual mission to the red planet might play out in terms of interpersonal dynamics between a small group of astronauts crammed into a small space for an extended period of time.
Sorry, NASA, but not necessary. I'm happy to say that during a year and half of work-from-home bubbled lockdown, my wife and I had no problems at all - we worked in different rooms, but we talked regularly, ate lunch together, watched TV, played games, cooked meals, and were perfectly happy in each other's company 24/7.
Sign us up for Mars, Elon...
