Still to Come: Human Exploration of Mars

posted on Jan 21, 2011 9:03 pm

Imagine this: You're an astronaut. You pack your bags and board a rocket the size of a school bus. Together with a crew of eight other people (among them astrobiologists, geologists and engineers), you are launched into space for a 9 month journey. Destination: Mars. You arrive on a dusty red planet and step off the spacecraft in a suit that protects you from the dangers of solar flares and galactic and cosmic radiation. And the exploration begins.
