A group of New Zealanders will be taking part on an epic journey. They’re going to Mars – or at least a simulation of what a space station on Mars would be like.

Six crew-members will be heading deep into the Utah desert from April 22 to May 6, 2012,
to undertake a 2-week mission of exploration and research at the Mars Desert Research Station.
