From the press release:
Dr Lee will examine the what, why, when, and how of a human mission to Mars, with special emphasis on the how. "The first steps towards a human journey to the Red Planet are already underway, as we continue to explore extreme environments on Earth and prepare for our return to the Moon," Dr Lee has said. "Human journeys to near-Earth asteroids and to Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos, will also help pave the way. In time, humans will be ready for their first missions to the Red Planet."
