Martian Communication
with Dr. Kelly Haston
What’s it like to live and communicate as if you’re already on Mars? This week, I speak with Dr. Kelly Haston, commander of NASA’s CHAPEA 1 Mars simulation, about the challenges of staying connected—both with Earth and your crew—during a yearlong mission. From NASA needlepoint to nighttime texts, it’s a conversation about communication, isolation, and why support systems matter more than ever in space.
