Way Out There – An Internet mogul moves into outer space Forbes Magazine

Elon Musk made a fortune from the Internet. Now he wants to deliver payloads into space–and save mankind by colonizing Mars. Lets get this straight: Elon Musk is not a lunatic. “I’m one of the least flaky guys you’ll ever meet,” he insists. Flaky guys generally haven’t pocketed $200 million by age 31 as Musk has, thanks to two Internet successes–Zip2, sold to Compaq in 1999 for $307 million in cash, and PayPal, bought last October by Ebay for $1.5 billion in stock.

UB students to “explore Mars” in Utah University at Buffalo

UB doctoral student Brent Garry has always wanted to go to Mars, but for now he’ll settle for Utah. Since April 3, he and Abby Semple, another UB doctoral student, have been part of a small team that is simulating the living and working conditions on Mars by donning space suits, exploring the geology of the very “Mars-like” canyons of Utah and essentially living in and working out of a two-story tin can similar to a spaceship.

Russian Magazine Covers Mars Society Mars Society

The important Russian magazine Vokrug Sveta (Around the World) has published a 16 page illustrated article about Mars exploration, with central focus on the work of the Mars Society. The article covers Mars as a planet, current plans to explore Mars with robots, orbiters, and airplanes, the Mars Direct plan, terraforming, and the work of the Mars Society at the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station (FMARS) and the MDRS. Mars Society recognition in Russia has grown rapidly since the publication of “The Case for Mars” in Russian, (under the title “V Zashchitu Marsa”) translated by Russian Mars Society president Gennady Gusev. During the summer of 2002, Russian TV crews from the independant NTV network travelled to Devon Island to film the work of the FMARS crew. The documentary they produced was broadcast nationwide across Russia in the fall of 2002 to wide aclaim. Growth of the Russian Mars Society is very important as Russian technological capabilities could represent a major contribution to an international Mars exploration program.

Mars or Utah? Either way, it’s going to be cramped The Age

For her trip to Mars, Jennifer Laing is taking a copy of Geoffrey Blainey’s The Tyranny of Distance and a DVD of The Dish. The Melbourne PhD student is one of six Australians who will spend the next few weeks inside an eight-metre cylinder parked in a Utah desert, researching life in a Martian colony. The members of the non-profit Mars Society will eat pre-packaged military food and sleep inside the two-storey Mars Desert Research Station, going outside twice a day to collect rocks and to look for microscopic life. They will also test spacesuits and two vehicles.

Mars On Earth: Meet The International Crew Living And Working On The Mars Desert Research Station Mars Society

An international crew is about to descend on the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in the American South-west, one of a series of human Mars mission simulation platforms currently operated by The Mars Society (U.S.) in Mars-like environments around the globe. The 14th Crew on the MDRS in Utah will take part in a venture that has been jointly funded and planned by the Mars Society of Canada and Mars Society Australia. Crewmembers from the United States and France will also participate in this important research program.

Professor helps bring Mars closer to Earth The Keystone

Peter Detterline, a part-time astronomy professor, recently returned from a mission to the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) that spanned from Dec. 21, 2002 to Jan. 4, 2003. Detterline was selected to go to the MDRS by Robert Zubrin, president of the Mars Society and remembers thinking,
