Red Planet Expeditions

This totally unique high-tech themed resort will be small in scale, but high in luxury. It will be located on a 120-acre desert site between Los Angeles and Las Vegas and due to open in late 2007. We enable our SimNauts™ (simulated astronauts) to have a completely "immersive experience" of what it would be like to be an astronaut on an expedition to Mars in the year 2030.
