Binsted's work explores artificial intelligence, human-computer interfaces, and long-duration human space exploration. Quotes Well, that they have today on the space station tastes great but what they are essentially is individually pre-prepared meals. You'll get sort of a TV dinner chunk to heat up, maybe add some water to and eat. The problem with that is that once you have you pre-prepared, say, individual serving of lasagna, it will stay lasagna for the rest of time. It will never be anything else. Dr. Binsted, you're working on a study to make a better, quote, "space menu." Tell us what's wrong with the old space menu. What are astronauts eating today and what should they be eating tomorrow on their way to Mars? That's right. It's a specialized pantry. It has to be shelf-stable. That means it needs to be able to last the length of the mission without go bad. But yeah, essentially that's what we're doing. So you're giving them basically the kitchen pantry to take with them instead of the pre-made stuff? NASA is systematically checking off all the prerequisites for a long duration mission, and a series of HI-SEAS missions were launched in 2012 to investigate crew composition and cohesion, Life on (a simulated) Mars The longer each mission becomes, the better we can understand the risks of space travel,We hope that this mission will provide NASA with solid data on how best to select and support a flight crew that will work cohesively as a team while in space. Life on (a simulated) Mars For example, in the real world when you send an email and get a response in a week, that’s generally fine,” . “But when you’re in an analog and someone doesn’t get back to you within 24 hours, it’s torture. You feel abandoned.” Life on (a simulated) Mars The first time you step outside without a helmet, it’s like going from sixties black and white TV to high-definition Life on (a simulated) Mars “If you really need to go out clubbing on the weekends, you’re going to be pretty miserable in an analog of a long duration. Life on (a simulated) Mars When I think about the skills that served me best, being able to do improv was a huge part of that “It teaches you to think on your feet and also teaches you a whole lot about teamwork.
