I spent a year living aboard a yacht with between 10 and 18 other crew members, and my experience was that when the shit hits the fan that’s when everyone pulls together. It’s when there’s no firm collective goal that friction becomes more likely. I don’t think the fear of actually dying would be a big problem, I suspect the bigger issue will be crew members starting to wonder if their sacrifices are really worth it.

No such mission or long- term space exploration can succeed without first construction of large scale rotating space station's that provides 1g of simulated gravity. For many reason's that may not seem obvious. One is that no long term colony will have all of the resources available for them to grow and prosper at any place that is not earth. The resources that are needed will come from many places,not just resupply rockets, and all of it will be best handled in orbit first. Also, large scale farming is not possible in a greenhouse on Mars. For that we will need something much more efficient to industrialized agriculture.

This is another one of NASA's "We are serious about space exploration" things to justify spending money. They are not serious about space exploration. If they were, we would have a good space station in orbit, a permanent presence on the moon (after much consternation about regolith issues), and have at least built out real plans to go to Mars if not already sent a team there (After figuring out how to prevent exposure to radiation...like by using water). This whole "We plan to go to Mars" thing is getting old, eventually they are actually going to have to do something to keep justifying the amount of money they are getting...and I'm pretty sure they don't like the fact Elon has certainly put them in their place.

The problem with all of these simulation tests is the complete lack of real danger.

I wonder what the minimum number of individuals (MNI) it would take to reduce the effects of isolation to a negligible level. 4 people is a small crew. If the MNI is somewhere around 12, building a larger habitat and sending 3 ships might be the safer option. With a crew that size, its easier to duplicate specialties which reduces the risk of losing a critical job role in the event of a death or incapacitation. Source: read lots of scifi.

As a former NASA Space Shuttle astronaut instructor and contributor to NASA’s mars Exploration Office - my 2nd M.S. Thesis was on selecting drilling sites on mars for robotic missions to search for subterranean water - I am depressing familiar with NASA’s so called plans to go to Mars. My research was part of the office’s 700 pg report which i did in 1989 - that’s not a typo. Unfortunately NASA will NEVER get humans to Mars for the simple reason that they are not actually in control of the space agenda for the country. The VP of the U.S. is typically designed by the President as the one who manages space policy & what direction NASDA goes. And since the VP hangs around at best for 8 years we get a continual revolving door for NADSA’s direction which in and of itself wouldn’t be that catastrophic except that going to Mars is hard and you need to stay focused and funded for 154-20 yrs without interruption. This is why I’m Elon Musk’s biggest supporter. He is literally humanity’s only hope to get to Mars since he doesn’t need anyone’s permission. No gov’t will ever get us there …
