Yep, just up the road from where this was taken is the Mars Desert Research Station, which is literally used to train astronauts for potential missions to Mars and outer space.

Mars Desert Research Station sounds like a LEGO set

Used to work on a student research project there back when I was in college. Testing plant growth in Mars analog soils. That whole part of UT is intense.
