This summer marks not only the closest approach of Mars to the Earth in thousands of years, but it is also the Bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition, as well as the Centennial of Flight. With this in mind, the Mars Society Education Task Force has cooked up an exciting day of educational activities just for educators. Add to this the fact that the latest a flotilla of probes is already enroute to the Red Planet, and we have the making of a true “Summer of Mars.”
