Mars Human Precursor Science Steering Group Decides To Eschew Obfuscation

Those of you who worry if there is a grand plan for human exploration of Mars, relax.

At the behest of NASA's Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group (MEPAG) the Mars Human Precursor Science Steering Group has put together a prioritized list of "Things To Do" for Mars exploration.
Reading it is much like reading the small print at the bottom of your credit card statement, but it gives you and idea of what would go into such an expedition.
That's assuming we ever get that far. It seems more and more likely the instructions for getting to Mars and back may need to be written in a language other than English.
Maybe Mandarin would have been a better choice...
