Simulating anyone living on Mars with current technology is the complete waste of time. By the time NASA have any real chance of sending people to Mars, the technology available, e.g. automated robots for chores, AI for companionship, synthetic food, etc, would be so vastly different that the result of this simulation would be no different than studying people living in a cave for a year.
This is purely spending money for the sake of spending, so NASA's budget would have something there in hopes of it won't get slashed next year. But it will in any case, we can hope this project is the one getting axed rather than other projects that might give some useful results.
