Hi-Seas Mission Crew Dynamics

The video explores NASA's Hi-Seas mission, where six volunteers lived in a dome on a Hawaiian volcano to simulate life on Mars. The mission aimed to study psychological effects, crew cohesion, and resource usage in isolation. Volunteers faced challenges like limited privacy, communication delays, and restricted resources. Despite hardships, the mission provided valuable insights for future Mars missions.
