(KSL News) An experimental Mars spacesuit will soon be tested in Utah.

It was designed in North Dakota with a $100,000 grant from NASA. Utah was chosen for the test because researchers say it has the most Mars-like terrain in the nation.

They say the test will help them solve problems outside a controlled environment, just as an astronaut would be forced to do on Mars.

Just the nation? I would think that Utah would be the most Mars like location in the world. Of course that is probably largely based off of Goblin Valley appearing in the movie "Galaxy Quest" (with Tim Allen) but still. :haha:
