Four NASA astronauts have emerged from a 3D-printed habitat in Houston after spending 378 days cut off from the outside world.
The crew exited isolation on Saturday after completing a NASA exercise intended to prepare astronauts for a possible journey to Mars. They had lived inside the 1,700-square-foot (158-square-meter) structure at the US space agency’s Johnson Space Center since Oct. 19, 2025.
Their tasks during the simulated mission included growing crops in simulated Martian soil and communicating with NASA officials under delays recreating those inherent in interplanetary communications.



Did they get to see our government sending masked kill squads into the streets and murdering civilians in cold blood and (checks notes) nothing fucking happening to them?
I’ve got some sad news for you. These isolated, mission-focused people tend to have uninformed takes on social issues for understandable reasons. And you know how uninformed takes trend…
well theyre just in time to see the ineffective response of the mass of electoralists, reformists, and assimilationists insisting we can just vote harder to unkill everyone they already slaughtered and prevent them from killing anyone else. because as everyone knows, ballets are bulletproof!
/s obv
Right, and what are you going to do instead of voting?
things that actually impact my surroundings. i know for most thats hard to fathom but you are capable of changing your environment.
Not a single actual thing listed by the way
try using your brain for starters
To what, read your mind? How does using one’s brain reveal what you specifically are doing?
Why do you think they volunteered?
