Our luck ran out. I was thinking this a couple of days ago, when I was alone and underground in one of the scariest lava caves that I have ever been in.
We were so fortunate with good weather up until that point that I was expecting something bad to happen at any moment. A sort of return to the"yin" from the"yang", from the proverbial alternating dark and light cycles in the"yin and yang" Chinese philosophy. Wouldn't the best return to misfortune and problems be right here, tens of feet underground?
Panicking is never a good thing in my experience, so I took deep breaths and focused on slowing down my heart rate. Soon enough, I could see through my visor again. I then looked at my wrist computer and saw that it was time for me to start the climb to the surface. The calling from the darkness tempted me one last time, but I resisted. Instead, I climbed out of the so-called Sarlacc Pit lava tube skylight, which is an entrance into the underground lava cave system.
Little did I know that my mini lava tube adventure would follow me back to the HI-SEAS habitat. That evening we finished filming a crew video for our HI-SEAS"." It is a tradition that I have been encouraging crews to take part in over the past few years. Each crew leaves something behind for the next crews to find. It can be anything from advice for surviving on mission and recipes using our freeze-dried food, all the way to videos and songs representing each crew.
