Mars-Oz

Aussie 'space station' :
"Under the society's plan the station could be built in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia early next year. Scientists believe researchers, biologists and geologists will rush to work inside the German-designed Mars-Oz station."

A 1.5 million Mars Oz research project to try to emulate life on mars. Our very own piece of the red planet in the Flinders Ranges?? The Flinders Ranges is one of our big tourist spots. It is beautiful, but it can also flood quite significantly. People go camping there and they enjoy the countryside. Will high tech fit in? Will it be red like Mars? Arkaroola is probably a good spot. This research station is the brain child of the Mars Society Australia and is a German design. It would provide some inspiration and diversity for our scientists, technologists and biodiversity experts. It is going to reflect the possibilities of life on Mars. I guess it will become a tourist curiosity too and could well be an additional money raiser for scientific research and tourism in the area. We are getting daring!
