If you cannot go to Mars yourself, you can have a piece of it brought to you, or at least a simulation of it. Orbital Technologies Corporation (ORBITEC) is producing simulants of Martian soil for the public. NASA uses the simulants for running tests on Earth, but a high request from the public has convinced ORBITEC to begin selling them publicly. The company is convinced that this will encourage children in their endeavors of learning about space.
