Just to let everyone know that the latest copy of Scientific American, July 2009, includes an article by Harrison Schmitt entitled "From the Moon to Mars," discussing insights to working on the surface of Mars.
For each new body that people explore, we must build on our experience exploring the last place we have been -- as geologists have done on Earth for more than two centuries. We must continually ask what may be similar and what may be different. How will Martian geology, accessibility, exploration strategy and optimal crew composition compare with the experience of Apollo?
