On Saturday 19th January 2002, the Mars Society UK will be
hosting a 1-day symposium entitled "Mars on Earth: Life on
Mars" and will present Society members, space professionals
and members of the general public to find out more about Mars,
our attempts to explore Mars both with robotic and human
missions, and the potential for life on Mars.

The symposium is to be held at the National Hockey Stadium
Conference Centre, a prestigious facility centrally located in
Milton Keynes, England, with convenient road, rail and air links
(London Luton airport).

Registration for the event starts at just £10.00 (17.00 Euros),

within easy walking distance of the symposium venue.
