1:00 Ross Lockwood – Scientist in Hawaii working on HI-SEAS
Starting at the end of March, Ross Lockwood had been living with five other researchers in a NASA-built Mars simulator environment on the slopes of the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii.
On Friday, he finally stepped out of the dome without his survival suit, and came “back” to life on Earth.Ross Lockwood, a B.C.-born and Edmonton-based PhD candidate in Condensed Matter Physics, spent 120 days isolated with five others at the HI-SEAS site. (hi-seas.org)
“We didn’t get to smell fresh air, or feel wind on our face or sun on our skin, and it’s all just overwhelming right now,” he told CBC News. Lockwood, originally from Winfield in the Okanagan, says the study – the second in the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog & Simulation (HI-SEAS) project – is intended to simulate life at a colony on the red planet. For 120 days, the six researchers lived and worked together in cramped conditions with little contact with the outside world.
