Marshow to get there and maybe even live there has been in the news a lot lately. Governments and private industry around the world are discussing ways to get people to the so-called “Red Planet.” In mid-October, U.S. President Barack Obama attended a science and technology conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He spoke of his love of the subject. “I’m a science geek,” Obama said. “I don’t make any apologies for it.” The president got laughter from a roomful of fellow science geeks. Obama first proposed a U.S. mission to Mars in 2010. He repeated his call this month to get humans to and from the Red Planet by the 2030s. Obama called for a partnership with private companies to develop a way to make it happen. In Pittsburgh, Obama examined a Boeing space flight simulatora device that recreates what it would be like to fly in space.
