I was supposed to travel to "Mars" this month. The plan was to stay two weeks at the Mars Desert Research Station – actually in the Utah desert—to simulate human operations on the red planet. Eight of us were to live in a two-story cylinder, 24 feet in diameter. We would conserve water and put on mock spacesuits every time we ventured outside.
