2. Planet Israel
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (02.01.19)
Should the “astronauts” discover

- streets, in need for repair
- odd electrical wires and cables across streets
- dangerous oil-transformers in every corner
- plenty of garbage in the streets
- plenty of dog’s muck (mokshim)

then they are not in a slum of a 3rd world country. No, they are in an OECD country with top notch start ups and endless inventions.

But with a policy of neglect and without any concern regarding the public. Its Israel of today!

Give your vote to politicians caring about its citizens.

I love the desert, and Mitzpe is i nice little town. The best place to eat there is Hahavit.
4. How do they simulate the reduced sunlight?
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.01.19)
This habitat will have hundreds of square meters of solar panels, but will they be shielded from the bright Israeli sun to simulate the much smaller amount of sunlight Mars receives? How will they simulate the 100 degrees below zero temperature of Mars? This habitat will have to be air-conditioned while the real habitat will have to be heated. What type of insulation will be used?

Why not create this habitat at one of the poles? At least it will be more realistic. Only by preparing using the most realistic scenarios can anyone be prepared to live on Mars. Taking a camping trip to the Ramon Crater isn't going to do it!

Create a habitat in Antarctica with a support building next to it. The habitat will be self-contained and the support building is only for preparation of the habitat and monitoring and rescue. It's the only way to get it right.
