Snaps of Early (1979-1984) Mars Study Project and CFM people

Radish apparatus
Getting ready for the first radish at 50 mb CO2 + H20 run (approximate date early 1980). Apparatus was appropriated and set up in the LASP penthouse, underneath a solar telescope dome. This location also served as our "clubhouse" and crash pad for nights when Martians were too tired to walk or drive home.
MSP at JSC
Tom Meyer, Chris McKay, Penny Boston, Mike Corn, Carter Emmart. (approximate date early 1980). After our big success at the LPI Rockfest in 1979, the Mars Study Project drove down to Houston en masse in 1980.
pjb at JSC
Penny Boston at controls of Space Shuttle simulator/mockup. (approximate date early 1980)

Mckay in DC
This might have been the trip that Leonard said, "Let's put on a show!". The creation of Case for Mars, that is... (approximate date Feb 1980)
pjb and smw in DC
This statue in the National Zoo caught our eye for some reason.
pjb and smw in DC 2

pjb in DC
Same DC trip as the preceeding Zoo shots
pjb in DC 2
We always walked the mall when we came to DC... We made several trips to NASA HQ before CFM I, and many after, too. The Vietnam memorial was constructed between CFM I and II, and it became a regular and somber stop on our DC Mall walks.
smw at Sommers Bausch Observatory
Steve Wears the 24" as a hat. Before CFM I (approximate date early 1981).
