As mankind inches closer to the first boot prints on Mars, several teachers from Utah got to experience a weeklong simulation that shows what it would be like to work and live on the red planet.
Jen Jones is an astronomy teacher and assistant to the principal at Quest Academy Charter School in West Haven.Jones was selected for the first time to participate in a program called Spaceward Bound Utah with a cohort of teachers.
The NASA-funded program through The Mars Society allowed Jones and five other teachers from across Utah and as far away as Australia to participate in the simulation at the Mars Desert Research Station . "If you leave the tunnel system or any of the buildings to go out in the general area while you're in [the simulation], then you have to get suited up and wear a space suit to do it," said Jones.
"The simulation pieces where we step out of our comfort zones, and we are actually in a Mars simulation — thinking like Martians, acting like Martians, and trying to stay alive," she said.
