The Mars Desert Research Station program received an important boost this week with the decision by the Greenleaf Corporation to become a sponsor. Greenleaf is donating $25,000, and accordingly, will have its company logo prominently displayed on the side of the station. Commenting on the donation, Mars Society president Robert Zubrin said; “I’m really proud to have Greenleaf as a sponsor of our program. Makers of precision cutting implements for machine tools, they are exemplary of the kind of high quality industry that enabled America to reach the Moon and will make it possible for us to send humans to Mars. I hope that everyone who is in the market for their type of goods takes the trouble to check them out, because their products are top notch and their generosity and vision in supporting the Mars Society should not go unrewarded.”
