Nestled high on the northern slopes of Mauna Loa, the world’s most active volcano, the HI-SEAS habitat simulates life on the moon or Mars for crews who live here in isolation for up to 8 months testing the limits of interplanetary off-grid homesteading.
Inside a 36-foot-diameter, 2-story dome, they have a full-kitchen/dining room, a living room/ workout space, 2 composting toilets, one urinal, one shower and 6 slivers of bedrooms, plus an engineering bay.
The solar panels and water tanks are monitored by sensor from inside to be sure nothing is over-used. If anything goes wrong with the equipment, the crew can contact “Mission Control” for help, but they need to make all fixes on their own.
Director Kato Claeys has been on multiple missions and feels life at the “hab” is second best to a trip to Mars. She gave us a full tour of their round home and we took a “moon walk” through lava fields looking for local lava tubes.

Cody from Codys Lab manages the same thing with some plastic buckets and a lot of chicken poop
👍🏽
"The lava tube roof caved in, so now we are able to go into the tube and explore and get samples" These ppl are morons.
How does anyone really know the moon and its surfacing. No one has been there
Good 👍 looking dome to live on
Trying to remember if I knew the Moon had volcanic features!
Is anyone gonna ask this chick what the Van Allen belts are lol. Hate to break it to you but we can’t penetrate the earths radiation barrier, never have & most likely never will sister.
This is a good program and should be expanded. Life off world will be epic.
Seriously, I would want a hyperbolic chamber to sleep in, just in case the shell is breached by a mad scientist. 👍
Very intriguing 🤔.
Thank you for the Tour 👍
After poop .is total hygienic to rinse or wash our 'backside ' with water n drops of white vinegar n body shampoo in..n hv final water cleaning. Wipe it clean n dry 🎉
Nuclear sub missions are probably more relevant to Mars missions. I think going to Mars is nuts. This is what robots and AI is for.
The last time I saw someone sitting so close to the steering wheel was when my grandmother was alive. 😂
Very interesting yet distressing. We may have to abandon our garden of Eden for this because of gross mismanagement.
This is basically glamping with added tech and body odor.
Yayy for the Mars mission lol.. hilarious! I’m planning a trip to Uranus next year!
Excellent video! Multi planetary. 👽👾

wooooowww great!!!
That is not right …really because I got nothing except trouble from that person associated to a group–undermining someones authority…absolute nightmare. I wish you could understand what I mean I really really do. Like a home where you have directions for things, was just undermined completely and that is wrong scenario…
Kirsten, it's hard to believe you didn't know about lava tubes. Lava Beds National Monument in the northeast corner of California is worth a visit. It can be a good day trip before or after visiting Crater Lake in Oregon. Lots of driving involved and reservations are must for Crater Lake whether at the closest campground or at the Lodge.
I had to wait to comment on the absolute waste of time and energy to plan human occupation of Mars. Research can be fun yet I believe profoundly that the time could be spent more productively in other research.
So how many of these tax payer funded glamping sites are there? Especially with a bunch of goofy 20 somethings!
Mars is worthless. It would be way easier to "terraform" the earth (like those lavafields). We cant even do this, why do we have the hubris to try to do it on mars. Wasted ressources. The dangers to eradicate us from the earth are mostly the same that would wipe out the mars enclave.
Where do you get the carbon from the grow plant from the moon?
PMSL
Nutty professor! People pay for this ? Experimenting on what?
Should be called the Walther Bauersfeld Montreal Biosphere after the actual inventor of the geodesic dome 🙂
nice
Mars?
Shouldn´t they be able to fly to the moon at first?
