I read with interest the article in the February 1 issue regarding research on the mental health needs of astronauts on a Mars mission of two to three years. I was reminded that in the 19th century many men set out in cramped, harsh, dangerous conditions for periods of up to four years on whaling ships. Perhaps our researchers should be reading Moby-Dick?
