This week, I've put together an audio slideshow to give you a sense of what it's like to live inside this simulated Mars habitat.

We've been working, eating, exercising, filling out surveys and sleeping in this enclosed space for two months now.

Last Saturday we hit the halfway point in the mission. Less than two more months to go!

You can get more information about the HI-SEAS mission and the experiments I mention in the slideshow at hi-seas.org.
