Mars Analogue Research Stations

I love acronyms.

[T]he two Mars Analogue Research Stations (MARS) in Utah and on the uninhabited Devon Island are able to give people a little taste of what it may be like. Research crews spend two weeks to a month living in the habitats built by the Mars Society and follow a code of rules to make the whole thing more Mars-y. To name a few: The days are 39 minutes longer just like on the Red Planet, everyone has to wear a spacesuit outside the enclosure, and all communications have to have a time delay to simulate the fact that Mars is pretty far away from Earth.

That would be very cool to go and work there for a while. Get a taste of the space age.
