Humans on the path to Mars are employing the Space Station to better understand the Life Sciences issues during long duration space flight. In this phase the problems, for example, of bone loss, skeletal muscle atrophy and radiation will be prioritized for countermeasure development. This presentation will feature NASA's critical path to the Moon and Mars as the initial blueprint for addressing these Human Life Sciences challenges necessary to accomplish a successful Mars transit, surface exploration and return to Earth. A Moon base will be the test bed for resolving the engineering obstacles for later establishment of the Mars Crew Habitat. Current engineering concept scenarios for Moon and Mars bases plus Mars transit vehicles will receive the final focus.
