Mars crew out of isolation after 8 months

HONOLULU, Hawaii - Six people who have been cooped up in a Mars-like habitat on a remote Hawaii volcano since January emerged from isolation on Sunday.

They devoured fresh-picked tropical fruits, vegetables and eggs after eating mostly freeze-dried food during their isolation.

The crew of four men and two women are part of a study designed to better understand the psychological impacts a long-term space mission would have on astronauts.
