Mars Society Mall Exhibit

It has been proposed that the Mars Society of Houston team up with the National Space Society to create a Mars/NSS exhibit which could travel to malls in the area and recruit new members. This exhibit would have to be interactive and "enhance the mall-going experience".

Mars Direct Animation

Objective: Create a public-affairs type animation of the Mars Direct concept as described in Robert Zubrin's book The Case for Mars.
