Crew Who Spent a Year in Simulated NASA Mars Base Say They Spent a Lot of Time Watching TV

Quick Summary:

Killing Time Trapped in a small but high-tech habitat, stranded on a cold, desert world completely alien to our own, one wonders what someone would do to decompress after a laborious day of scientific fact-finding and on foot exploration — on top of all the general upkeep of trying not to die another planet.

We also know that the habitat came with a PlayStation 4 and board games like Starfarers of Catan — and we're eagerly awaiting for one of these brilliant minds to own up to indulging in these guilty pleasures.

Mission managers would even introduce stressful scenarios to observe how the crew would react, like supply shortages and equipment failures.
