Earlier this month, I had the privilege of hosting the first Occupy Mars seminar at Wolfson College, Oxford. I was joined by several speakers from around the university and further afield to discuss what it will take to get humans to Mars one day.

Back from “Mars!”
Some of you may know (from my previous post) that a few months ago I was selected to take part in a two-week expedition as an analogue astronaut to the Mars Society’s Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in the Utah desert. Late December, our crew completed this expedition and arrived back on Earth and it was truly an out-of-this-world experience!
Mission to Mars… almost!
Good news!
I’m pleased to announce that I have been selected to take part in a two-week expedition as an analogue astronaut to the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in the Utah desert early this December. It is a facility to learn and prepare for what life on Mars will be like in future human space exploration missions. Over 170 crews have stayed at MDRS and I will be forming the 184th.
