Early this morning NASA publicized their latest plan in the long-term Journey To Mars: to send three wolves to the Moon for the purpose of monitoring the effects spaceflight has on other species for when the time comes for Mars Colonization.

In a recent press conference NASA Administrator, Charles Bolden, announced the next footprints on the Moon won’t be footprints at all, but paw prints.

“When the colonization of Mars begins…that’s right… not if, but when it happens…. We need to create a surface habitat that is as close to an Earth-like environment as possible to lessen the shock and isolation for our pioneering crew. To do this we must resolve the issue of maintaining an array of species, both animal and plant-like, on a foreign surface,” said Bolden.

Additionally, April Fools! Although NASA is taking extensive steps towards Mars, they will not be sending wolves to the Moon any time soon. That doesn’t mean that we can’t keep our dreams alive by throwing on the classic ‘Three Wolf Moon’ t-shirt, made by The Mountain®, and howling at the Moon together. WARNING: this shirt is known to have magical powers, so wear with caution.

Ps: I know it's an April Fools joke, but seriously, this made me think of the Lunar Chronicles.

Dang it I was all ready to ask the question: What will the wolves howl at at night? The Earth? Or the ground beneath their feet?
