SCIENCE-US-JAPAN-CANADA-SPACE-OCEANS-FILES
(FILES) This May 11, 2011 NASA file image shows a NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations) diver simulating anchoring to an asteroid surface at the Aquarius undersea research laboratory in Key Largo, Florida. When human space explorers reach an asteroid for the first time, NASA figures the experience will be more like swimming in space than walking on the Moon. So the US space agency is taking a deep-sea approach to practicing for the first deep-space mission, which President Barack Obama has said could become a reality by 2025. A team of international astronauts from the US, Japan and Canada is set launch the first 13-day undersea practice expedition in the Atlantic Ocean on October 17, NASA said September 19, 2011.
