The Haugton-Mars Project: Where NASA Prepares for Mars
Posted by storstygg on Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009
Scientists of all types have descended upon Devon Island in Nunavut, up around 75 degrees latitude, because it’s the closest thing on earth that approximates Mars. They even call it Mars on Earth.
Elaine Walker spent her summer living up there for the Haughton-Mars project. She’s the Education and Public Outreach Officer for the Mars Institute, so lots of her work is about letting people know about this project and others like it. It basically houses scientists from all over the world who study various aspects of the land and determines how to prepare the human race for the inevitable colonisation of Mars. This might just be a very rich fantasy shared by few, but they are very driven people. And they’re leading the way for all of us.
Read a cool interview with one of the lead brains on the project at Viceland
