      Hi Mollymooo,

      I’m not sure actually. It probably would be possible, but we as humans are meant to live on ground and over time there can be serious health consequences of being underground. For example, miners (who work underground for long periods of time) can sometimes suffer chronic health conditions such as problems with lungs, etc.
