Hab.

Built with space-grade Teflon and insulated with industrial-use foam, Hab-1 has a bed, a stowaway tray which can be pulled out and used as a workstation, storage space to keep supplies and emergency kits, a kitchenette for heating meals and a toilet.

"Hab-1 is designed keeping in mind that space is going to be very limited on the Moon or Mars," Ms Kacha-Jhala says.

The Hab-1 - short for Habitat-1 – is Indian space agency Isro's first-ever "analog mission" which means simulation of space conditions to prepare astronauts for real space missions.

As visitors step into the exhibit, they will see present-day photos showing the homeless encampments underneath I-5, historical images of businesses that once thrived in the neighborhood and an interactive mural through which viewers are provided flashlights to locate hidden gems in the community, including a ball and bat at Art Louie’s Hab’s Sporting Goods and a fish bowl at Gong’s Aquarium Shop.

Hab Touch, secretary of state with Cambodia’s Ministry of Culture & Fine Arts, said in an interview that the return of the gold items amounts to “getting back the crown jewels of the Angkor Empire.”
