	Once the astronauts have a safe environment that provides the oxygen and water needs, the next step is producing fresh food on site. This will primarily mean covering up the caloric and nutritional needs of the new inhabitants, but also the psychological advantages associated with taking care of a garden in space. Professor Wieger Wamelink, ecologist and exobiologist at the University of Wageningen has answered some of our questions regarding the experiments he is performing with the use of Mars soil simulant, as well as various insights into the science behind making (plants) life possible. Here follows a series of questions and answers of our interview:		Once the astronauts have a safe environment that provides the oxygen and water needs, the next step is producing fresh food on site.

	A: Well, some of them are basic ingredients. Soy beans will be already there, because we will be vegetarian. Soy beans could be very handy, but rice takes a lot of space and is more difficult to grow. It asks for skills and will take time. Same with rye. I like to eat bread and Dutch people like bread, as you may have noticed. But it takes an awful lot of space to grow rye. We have already tried and we know it works, but it is not very efficient. That will not happen in the first ten years. We will have potatoes, that will be I think one of the most important foods and beans and peas (they are very healthy and you have the bacteria growing with them) and something for taste (tomatoes, they are very efficient), cucumbers (also very efficient) and some basic herbs to make food more tasty and maybe peanuts that can provide oil, so you can bake stuff instead of only cooking it.

	The following are extracts from a dialogue with professor Angelo Vermeulen from TU Delft, space system researcher and biologist. Prof. Vermeulen shares his experience in leading one of the analogue space missions in Hawaii as crew commander and the impact confinement has on the psychology of the astronauts. The period of this mission was 4 months, but professor Vermeulen has participated in various other isolation experiments with the purpose of understanding human life in space.
