Locked up for a year on the Big Island. It'll be interesting to see what the conclusions are. At least nobody stormed out.

They are planning 2 more rounds each 8 months each. They are looking for qualified candidates if you want to escape to Mars for a while. http://hi-seas.org/?p=5695

By the way, you can read about peoples' experiences there like on this blog. http://livefrommars.life/

An egg. An orange. Avocados. These objects exist now only in two dimensions – images, references, distant memories. Like a movie of a picnic running in reverse, in dreams I watch their bone-dry remnants lift off the page, becoming fleshy and whole again. Grapes. Cherries. A real apple.

The closer we get to Earth, the more vivid they become, though some continue to feel, if not surreal, then certainly imaginary. Pomegranates, I’m pretty sure, are somebody’s long-standing dream: like the unicorns of the fruit world.

Does this mean they'll be looking for another Missionary position?
