One year in a dome, in the name of science – and Mars

Six people shut themselves inside a dome for a year in Hawaii on Friday, August 28 in the longest US isolation experiment aimed at helping NASA prepare for a pioneering journey to Mars.

The crew includes a French astrobiologist, a German physicist and 4 Americans – a pilot, an architect, a doctor/journalist and a soil scientist.

What kind of person wants to spend a year this way? Find out in Agence France-Presse’s dispatch from Hawaii.
