An astronaut is spending a week living at the bottom of the ocean to simulate and prepare for future space missions. Jeremy Hansen is currently on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean at the Aquarius Reef Base in Florida, about 20m (65ft) below the surface.
He has been tweeting images of his underwater adventure, including an early morning snap of a passing barracuda. In one message posted online he said: "In bed for first night's sleep under 20 metres of ocean. I got the top bunk! "I hear water surging back and forth and other strange sounds." The Canadian told CBC before the mission: "For me, mentally, I’m preparing to go on a space mission for the next seven days.
