Martian pizza and other creative cookery with Mars500

[Icix1]

Space messes with your taste buds, I doubt those would be as good on an actual voyage. Also, where did they get the fresh veggies, greenhouse?

[runwax]

you guys are doing a really great job !

[dennizenx]

simulation pizza, just like simulation to mars.... lol things we couldn't say a few years ago :D I love pizza and I love mars500 ! :D

[cartekk]

Awesome! I'm so jealous, maybe next time I can come with you guys... please? =)

Ooh, and you definitely have to give us that chocolateball recipie ;)

Now what were those balls made of? I'm only slightly sure I heard 'turmeric' in there.

It is amazing to see how they anticipate the moment that they'll eat those "pizzas"! With all the dry or tasteless food (or both), I understand the joy cause by that "special meal" (espacially for the French member of the crew at the 1:20 mark!) La bonne boufee, on ne peut pas s'en passer!

Well done, 1 year already so fast.

[shadowq2]

So they are just living there ? Or are they doing also experiments and things? ONLY living is not such a big thing. Or we will send people to Mars that wont do anything there?

[dennizenx]

@shadowq2 they are also doing experiments, both social and scientific. Nothing as cutting edge as inventing teflon, but they are testing equipment and the limits of the human being.They also simulated a walk on mars :)

What does this have to do with E.S. A....the space program? I'm very disappointed!!!

Must've been desperate to post something......

@david25luvit

Humans are social beings and tend to not function well in isolated surroundings. Simulating a voyage means we can have estimates for behavioural parameters, and prepare the crew that will go much better.

@CrimsonRefractions Oh man, how I'd love some isolation but in beautiful surroundings.

[agun17]

I've been in isolation for a few years now. My sanity has only gotten better!

[Ferrariman601]

This is really a fascinating experiment! I'm absolutely amazed to see just how well the crew appears to be coping with such prolonged isolation, and that they are still working well together.

It looks like humans are ready for Mars, now our technology has to get there.

@Ferrariman601 i hope you know that a journey to mars is a journey without comeback so the astronauts would live in total isolation for the rest of their lives

@Ferrariman601 Bloody well said.
