HMP Research Station in the Chicago Tribune

In today's edition of the Chicago Tribune writer Howard Witt, who visited the HMP Research Station last month, has written an article on his adventure titled "Devon Island like no place on Earth". Here's an excerpt;


"A human mission to Mars might be 30 years away or more, but one day it will happen," said Pascal Lee, 43, the NASA astronomer who first visited this place a decade ago and supervises the Haughton-Mars Project, as the program is known. "The fundamental lessons we are learning here need to be learned now. On the moon and Mars, it's going to be all about fieldwork, geology, reconnaissance, resource assessment, traversing vast tracts of territory--all of this stuff we do on a daily basis here."

Editor's update - Dec. 20: After a week the Chicago Tribune archives their stories and you have to pay to read it.
