Maj. Ross Elder relocated to Johnson Space Center and entered the famous Mars habitat for the first time. “To switch roles after testing for so long and becoming the subject being observed is a cool, but new, feeling. Entering that habitat for the first time was surreal when you realize this space is your future home,” Elder said.
