Picture of the Week: Earthnauts

This week's Picture of the Week comes from Mars. Well, sort of.

That is several 'astronauts' exploring around at the Mars Desert Research Station, the second of four such stations to be built in order to test habitats and lifestyles, somewhat ahead of what NASA is up to. These sort of stations will provide invaluable for figuring out the details of Lunar and Martian colony life, and the lessons from one could be applied to another.

It'll be interesting to see, in particular, the psychological kinds of studies one can get from these...
