Help wanted: NASA is looking for people to spend a year pretending they are isolated on Mars. The space agency began taking applications Friday for four people to live in a simulated Mars habitat at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The paid participants have to eat space food, have limited communications back home, make spacewalks and deal with equipment failures. The first of three experiments starts in the fall next year. They’re not looking for just anybody. You need a master’s degree in a science or math field or be a pilot and in great health.
