00:00What is it like to live in an underwater lab? Hi, I'm Dr. Michaela Muslova and I was the
00:06commander of a simulated space mission underwater called SeaStar. My crew and I prepared for a year
00:11to live and work like astronauts on the International Space Station. However, instead of
00:16flying up to space, we dove down to approximately 22 feet underwater to live in the Jules Undersea
00:23lab. Once we went underwater, we did not surface again until five days later, earning the
00:29qualification of aquanauts. During our simulated space mission, we performed a
00:34variety of research to help humans prepare for long-duration space missions, as
00:38well as to study how literally living under pressure affects our cognitive
00:43abilities. In my upcoming video, I'll show you what our spacewalks were like.
