TODAY’S GUEST
This week, Eva and Olga welcome Angelo Vermeulen, a space systems researcher, biologist, artist and community organizer. Angelo founded SEAD (Space Ecologies Art and Design), an international network of individuals working in art, science, engineering and advocacy. Angelo was also the crew commander of HI-SEAS, a Mars simulation study on improving the nutritional value of space food, funded by NASA. For this project, he and a crew of six astronauts lived for four months in a dome, all in the name of studying the effects of longterm isolation among a small crew.
