Who's analogs? It's a JPL press release...

We have two Habs...some MDRS Human Factors and media info...

**The MDRS crews consistently demonstrated the ability to operate with a daily total water use of about 20 liters per person without significant negative impact on morale. This compares quite favorably with the NASA estimate of 32 liters per person. As (even with 90% recycling) water is by far the single largest mass that needs to be transported on a human Mars mission, this finding promises to significantly reduce the mass and cost requirements of human Mars exploration. The MDRS crews also debunked a number of myths pervasive in certain sectors of the space human-factors community. Specifically, the Mars Society had been advised that crews composed of 50:50 men and women tended to be unworkable and that having a non- American in command of an otherwise all-American team would be a very bad idea. However, the Mars Society operated three of the six crews with 50:50 male:female ratios, and two of the six crews had non- American commanders (one German man, one French Canadian woman), with good results in all cases. More traditional crews (majority male, American commanded) also worked well. Overall, the human factors results suggested that existing human-factors generalizations have very little validity, and that much more research and testing of actual crews in Mars analog field stations is called for.

The MDRS field season drew massive coverage from the world's leading media, with front page reports in the New York Times, and literally dozens of other newspapers internationally. There was also a major feature article in the Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday Magazine, and the station was featured on the CBS evening News with Dan Rather, the BBC, the CBC, and German National TV to name only a small sample. Some other nations which sent reporters included Holland, Switzerland, and Norway. In all, it is estimated that the number of people exposed to coverage of the MDRS in its first field season alone easily exceeded 200 million...**
