Aussie's two weeks underwater in a box
Posted by Seamus Byrne at 8:56 AM on June 29, 2007
In a flooded quarry in Albury, Lloyd Godson spent 12 days in a yellow submarine. Not any submarine. "The world's first self-sufficient, self-sustaining underwater habitat." By self-sustaining, they mean he still needed food deliveries, but it did generate its own oxygen, thanks to special algae soaked in Lloyd's urine. Mmmm... I can almost taste the aroma...
Can't say I spotted this in local press, but there was a big story on the ordeal experiment at the Daily Telegraph in the UK. That's where the cool diagram came from too.
