Their idea is to use it as a training ground for Mars, which Nicole says makes a lot of sense.

You're not gonna climb Mount Everest on a whim, right? You're gonna climb somewhere in the Catskills first, and then you're gonna, you're gonna work your way up, um, into higher and higher elevations.

You're, you're gonna train for that Mount Everest trip, and you can think about Mars being the Mount Everest for now.

Nicole told us some of the things they said about it.

"When I took my helmet off, I was almost blinded.

Junk immediately got into my eyes.

The dust really bothered my eyes and throat.

I was tasting it and eating it." So when you're in an environment where you can't even go outside without putting a space suit on, and then you come back inside, you've got dust everywhere, y- you gotta figure out how to, how to deal with that.
