Mars Desert Research Station

The field season begins Dec 1st and will end May 18th. We have 12 crews, including teams from the Mars Society, Embry-Riddle, McLennan Community College, Georgia Tech and crews from Belgium, New Zealand-Australia, Russia and Europe.
We will also be offering the first college course at MDRS - a biology field experience course offered through Diné College.
The website is currently being updated and will include additional information. I will announce when the update is complete.

Сегодня день рождения Карла Сагана.

A happy birthday greeting to the late Dr. Carl Sagan (Nov. 9th).

"Maybe we're on Mars because of the magnificent science that can be done there - the gates of the wonder world are opening in our time. Maybe we're on Mars because we have to be, because there's a deep nomadic impulse built into us by the evolutionary process, we come after all from hunter gatherers, and for 99.9% of our tenure on Earth we've been wanderers. And the next place to wander to, is Mars. But whatever the reason you're on Mars is, I'm glad you're there. And I wish I was with you." -- Dr. Carl Sagan

У меня есть два издания его книги «Космос»:
- первое подарила Катя Байдина на день рождения;
- второе я получил на церемонии награждения конкурса «Заря-2011» в мае 2012 г.

P.S. Celebrate Carl Sagan Day with The Planetary Society.
