On June 25, 2023, four Americans volunteered to live in a simulated version of Mars for one year. This will happen at Johnson Space Center in Houston. The four volunteered for this because if they go to Mars the same thing will happen. The four people were selected from a gigantic pool of over 4,000 people! The 3D printout has private crew quarters, a kitchen, and two bathrooms. It also has a dedicated work room, recreation room, and fitness areas. The four people who got picked each have a specific job. Kelly Haston job is the mission commander, Ross Brockwell is the flight engineer, Nathen Jones will act as the medical officer, and Anca Selariu will be the science officer. While they are in the dome they will be doing the things that they were assigned.

Recent data and coral surveys from CSIRO have recorded that a natural phenomenon is occurring in continental drop-off zones where the East Australian Current raises cold water closer to the surface causing the “localised” parts of the reef to be temporarily cooler than other parts. This is important because recent coral bleaching events have impacted over 90% of coral species, and any chance for the coral to adapt to the rising temperature could be vital for the survival of the Great Barrier Reef and its inhabitants.

Recent trials at RMIT University investigated the usage of textiles in concrete. Surprisingly, over 70% of textiles can be used in concrete. This means that even some of the most un- recyclable materials like fire-fighter gear can be used. This is significant because recycling these materials causes a reduction in landfill and pollution. By using fibrous materials and textiles, the concrete is essentially ‘bound’ together, avoiding cracking and breakages.
