	Denver May 2001 -- a simulation of the sim. Brett and Charlie discover signs of life.
Shortly after arriving at HMP base camp, Katie and I follow John Schutt's direction to install a water line from the FMARS hab to the pump at Lowell Canal.
	The work tent, with a southern view towards the personal tents.
I sent photos like this to the Canadian Weather Service, with the idea that the Mars crew might collaboratively forecast the weather with experts back on Earth.
	Our backyard, always evocative, desolate, and vaguely dangerous.
The Phase 2 rotation begins in FMARS with a briefing and planning meeting. Discovery records the proceedings.
	Our tidy suits and backpacks, before the muddy traverses.
Vladimir Pletser demonstrates use of duct tape to deflect the airflow and hold his earphone in place.
	The first EVA, viewed from inside the hab.
Charlie acts as "Capcom," watching the EVA team as he gathers information about their progress deploying the geophone array.
	The EVA team is monitored and interviewed by the visiting press.
Katie prepares for another EVA.
	Viewed from above the staterooms, we find the crew busy reading email, writing reports, and processing photos on their laptops.
From the portal by the galley, we have a good view of approaching visitors, Lowell Canal, and the airstrip, with von Braun Planitia in the distance.
	Each night, Bob Nesson, the Discovery cameraman, filmed a short interview of Robert Zubrin. Once as a sound check, Zubrin recited most of The Raven.
Charlie shows angelic patience in a meeting.
	We came to Haughton to learn about human exploration. This is what it looks like.
With Phase 2 is complete, we take advantage of the better weather to dry clean the suits.
	Leaving the hab, uplifted with a great feeling of success, each of us is interviewed one more time by the Discovery crew. Like most of our thoughtful explanations about our work and experience, these statements are not included in the documentary.
