NAPRAVILI IM MARS NA HAVAJIMA Šestero volontera sljedećih će godinu dana biti pod kupolom u izolaciji

TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Kerry SHERIDAN, "Year-long Mars simulation to begin in Hawaii"This March 10, 2015, image courtesy of the University of Hawaii at Manoa shows the exterior of the HI-SEAS habitat on the northern slope of Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Six people are about to shut themselves inside a dome in Hawaii for a year, in the longest US isolation experiment yet aimed at helping NASA prepare for a pioneering journey to Mars. They are based on a barren, northern slope of Mauna Loa, living inside a dome that is 36 feet (11 meters) in diameter and 20 feet (six meters) tall.

The men and women have their own small rooms, with space for a sleeping cot and desk, and will spend their days eating foods like powdered cheese and canned tuna, only going outside if dressed in a spacesuit, and having limited access to the Internet. == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / MANDATORY CREDIT: "AFP PHOTO HANDOUT-University of Hawaii at Manoa/Neil Scheibelhut"/ NO MARKETING - NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS NO A LA CARTE SALES / DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS ==

Njihov životni prostor sljedećih 12 mjeseci, na sjevernoj obali otoka Mauna Loa, kupola je promjera 11 metara, visine šest metara. Vrata su zatvorena u petak u 15 sati po lokalnom vremenu.

Tri muškarca i tri žene raspolagat će svaki malom sobom, s prostorom za poljski krevet i radni stol. Tijekom boravka odvojeni od svijeta, jest će liofiliziranu hranu poput sira u prahu ili posebnim pos...
