3D-printed Mars house – level 1

3D-printed Mars house

17-04-2023 15:00

NASA wants to send people to Mars. NASA builds a fake Mars house. It is a 3D-printed house.

Four people will live there for one year. Experts want to know what happens to the team. The team cannot go outside. They will only have a little water to drink. They will grow vegetables inside their house. NASA will study how this affects their bodies and feelings. NASA wants to know how the team gets along. Living in a small house can be difficult.

This is the longest study like this. NASA will tell us who the team is this summer. The trip to Mars will take place in the 2030s.

Difficult words: fake (not real), 3D-printed (when a 3D printer creates something), get along (to be friendly to one another).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What challenges do the four people face in the 3D-printed Mars house over the course of their one year stay?
