新闻报告 2
To prepare for eventually sending astronauts to Mars, NASA began taking applications Friday for four people to live for a year in Mars June Alfa. That's a 1,700 square foot Martian habitat inside a building in Houston. The paid volunteers will work in an environment similar to Mars. They will have limited communications with family, restricted food and resources.
为了最终将宇航员送上火星，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）周五开始接受申请，招募四人到火星六月阿尔法基地生活一年。这是休斯顿市内一个建筑物内1700平方英尺的火星栖息地。这些有薪酬的志愿者将在一个类似火星的环境中工作。他们将与家人保持有限的联系，食物和资源也将受到限制。
NASA is planning three experiments, with the first one starting in the fall next year. Food will all be ready-to-eat space food. Some plants will be grown, but not potatoes like in the movie "The Martian". "We want to understand how humans perform in them," said LEED Santas Grace Douglas. "We're looking at Mars realistic situations."
NASA计划进行三项实验，第一项实验将于明年秋季开始。食物将全部是即食太空食品。会种植一些植物，但不会有电影《火星救援》中的土豆。“我们想了解人类在火星环境下的表现。”LEED Santas Grace Douglas说道，“我们正在考虑火星的现实情况。”
The application process opened Friday, and they're not seeking just anybody. The requirements are strict, including a master's degree in a science, engineering, or math field, or pilot experience. Only American citizens or permanent US residents are acceptable. Applicants must be between 30 and 55 and in good physical health. Attitude is key, said former Canadian astronaut Chris Hatfield. He said the participants need to be super competent, resourceful, and not rely on other people to feel comfortable.
申请流程于周五开始，NASA并不是在寻找任何人。申请条件非常严格，包括在科学、工程或数学领域的硕士学位，或飞行经验。只接受美国公民或永久居民。申请人必须在30至55岁之间，身体健康。前加拿大宇航员克里斯·哈德菲尔德表示，态度是关键。他说，参与者需要非常有能力、足智多谋，并且不要依赖他人来获得舒适感。
