1. Keeping the astronauts mentally healthy is a problem. There is no doubt that being confined in dark and hostile space for long periods of time produces anxiety. Other psychological concerns are loneliness and boredom.
2. Is it possible that astronauts do not get angry at each other? It is very

3. Instead of spending huge sums of money on travelling to Mars, we should
use the money to lead with the problems here on the Earth, like cleaning the nature, providing food for countries with poverty rates and to discover the cure for many diseases.
