Four volunteers for NASA lived in a pretend Mars station for a year in Houston, Texas. They left the fake red planet in early July. The station has bedrooms, a gym, and a work area near a robot station. A sandy spot is like Mars’ surface. The crew members grew vegetables like greens and tomatoes. They used a treadmill to pretend they walked to gather samples. Could they go without much water? Could they handle equipment failures? They had to pass many tests.
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial.” (James 1:12)
