Awesome Tips You could spend a year living in this 3D-printed Mars habitat
Startup ICON has 3D-printed a Mars habitat. Four people will live in the Mars Dune Alpha on Earth for a year to help NASA study the challenges of living on the red planet.

Would you live in Mars Dune Alpha for a year?
I've already spent 10 years in an 8×12 cabin in the middle of nowhere in North America's highest desert in elevation all by myself researching how certain plants grow in this area. And I had no idea that they were doing anything like this or were looking for volunteers.
Yes. I would. I’d love to to live on the moon or mars. This idea NASA has that you have to be this special person for you to be able to live and work on the moon or mars pisses me off. I think they need to take a look at us regular people too.
0:15 "Stimulated" Mars missions?
I wonder how they manage to make these habitats airtight
i would love to live away from everyone omg
Maybe digging into Mars crust would be better get Musk's tunnel diggers and create an underground city . Solves the pressure problem and maybe hit water on the way down , two birds with one stone .
You will have to generate air and seal the inside of the tunnels , create an air lock on the out side but it sounds more doable.
and yet we STILL have homeless people🤯
Bro, put a bunch of gamers in there with consoles and pcs and they'd be good to go for years!!
Cool shooting for mars…how about the moon?
I'm more interested in how we can incorporate this level of 3D building into all modern housing. Make it more accessible and more affordable for everyone.
Me an introvert: hehehehHEHEHEHE
where do I sign up
Mars habitats need to hold between 10 and 14.7 PSI with no leaks. A single wall in a normal sized bedroom would experience 186,278 Pounds of force on it. There is no way this stack of noodles is holding even 1PSI- That would be 12,672 pounds per wall. Mars habs will need to be pressure vessels of high tensile strength materials like metal. They will also need to be round or domed to help with strength. We could use reduced -pressure environments to simulate the air at, say, 8,000 feet. Then we could get away with something more like the structure of an airliner, but NASA doesn't even do this for the ISS and spacecraft. They use 14.7 PSI which would blow this joke of a house to pieces. Why are they wasting money on this!?
Anyone let the Martians know that they're coming to destroy their planet with "technology" too?
Crap stacked so high who can Smell it?
Nice work:)
great video, sign me up I want to go to mars 😀 😍
This is an example of how NASA is impacting society.
if you really would build habitat on Mars it would consist of cylindric , spherical or toroidal modules that could hold the inner air pressure. compared to the thin martian atmosphere the inner atmospheric pressure would press with 10 metric tons on each square meter of wall structure . Therefore small room are better than large ones. because the mechanical stress from the inner air pressure on the walls increases analogously with the size
the interior still looks very conventional. but in real all the furniture and equipment would need to be either lightweight or produced just out of regolith. and they would need a greenhouse structure much larger than the living space in order to self sufficiently produce food and oxygen.
Why not build and test something that looks more like a real Mars habitat?
I would LOVE to live in this habitat. 1 year? Piece of cake.
I would just live in 🇨🇦 and don’t drive or would ever own a car 🚗
No doors, no deal. Also, those bedrooms are really too small and are all next to each other. That's fine for an actual family, I suppose, but these will be 4 total strangers. I think not.
But doesn't it seem like we all just spent the last year in total isolating with 4 or less people 😊
Im getting Among Us vibes
To those involved; Could you take a volunteers less than desirable physical and mental requirements and turn them around? It is basically a fish tank. If you could do this, anything else might be a breeze. There would be no question.
i would….!
@Markiplier
No i couldn't.
I spent 22 years in solitary confinement this would be a cake walk
Take me now
I liked the complete way NASA is planning for the future to live on mars but the question is how a human body will survive in mars at low gravity compared to earth. What about human bones which will be affected badly in the less gravity surface of mars and they are talking to stay for 1 yr. That's is huge.
Sign me up I want this challenge
So basically not for the average person
Really! No thank you!!! If people would take care of this planet and humans didn’t act like a Cancer maybe we wouldn’t have to worry. We may be the only planet that’s able to sustain life within our reach. Stop trashing the planet.😡
I wonder who got selected and how much their playing
We've destroyed this planet! Let's now go and destroy another 😂😂

Interesting technology. Looks like it could be used on Earth to make more affordable housing. I assume the voids in the walls are filled with insulation of some type.
Mars does not have the atmosphere and geomagnetic field around it that Earth does to protect it from solar and cosmic radiation and debris. This makes me wonder how living on Mars’ surface would be possible.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
1 0 0 % PURE GENIUS
They will never be humans on mars quit dreaming!!!
Definitely yes! Take me! 😅
The structure will have to be airtight so not exactly the same as building on earth.
