Have you ever dreamed of flying free of Earth's gravity to explore outer space? You can take a step closer to your dreams at this excellent website, which offers a fascinating insight into the planet that has intrigued us all for years - Mars. The website has been designed by Nextera, a non-profit organisation that wants to inform and educate people about space exploration and it certainly succeeds. You can find out what it would be like for a space crew to live on the Red Planet by taking a virtual tour of a simulated Mars habitat, picking up useful information and facts on the planet's rocks, mountains and atmosphere as you go. Or you could look inside the hypothetical Mars base, an air-tight home where a crew of astronauts can live. You can also check out a greenhouse and a pressurised robot rover for exploring the surface. The site is well worth a visit and will inspire you to join the crew that plans to visit Mars by 2015.
