Facing Mars

October 3, 2009 – January 3, 2010

What if you could travel to Mars? Would you be prepared for a long space journey and an inhospitable landscape?

Goodbye, Earth … Hello, Mars

What will you eat on your three-year journey? What will happen to your body in microgravity? How will you get along living with the rest of the crew? Can you protect yourself from radiation and Martian dust storms? If Mars has any signs of life, could you recognize them?
