He has always wanted to go into space, which is why he shelled out an arm and a leg 12 years ago to be a Beta tester of Adult Space Camp, and in January of 2004 he applied to be a passenger candidate with one of Canada s X-Prize teams (obviously didn't make the cut but he tried).
As a spaceflight historian on the Sci-Fi con circuit for the past 15 years, Hugh travels about 35,000 air miles a year (out of his own pocket), to lecture Sci-Fi fans on non-North American

current space news events and answer questions on the previously hidden and secret history of the former Soviet Unions space programs. Very few Americans seem willing to touch the subject of foreign space efforts. So as a Canadian he's been filling this knowledge void since 1990 and getting great personal satisfaction out of helping enlighten others.
Hugh is experienced in isolated location emergency medicine and telemedicine, as nearly 20 years ago he did a series of Industrial Paramedic postings over 3 years in Northern BC where he was usually a minimum of 2 hours from the nearest medical aid centre by boat or road. He was often out of camp as a part of the crew, as he was then using his (not paying very much) Surveyors Technician education to man the theodolite and translating engineering plans into a lay out of roads, bridges, railway lines and putting in control for building foundations.
Gregory is an amateur astronomer (member of RASC since 1991), a licensed pilot and a retired Para Jumpmaster with over 700 freefalls and two competition bronze medals. Married 8 years to sweetheart and best friend Anne. He was really excited about his first visit, earlier this year, to analog Mars as a part of an MDRS (Mars Desert Research Station) crew, for which he was Mission Commander. He hopes his participation in a supporting analogue Mars-naut capacity will help to further the on going research by the scientists of the Mars Society into the problems mankind will face when we finally send off our first human exploration crew to the Red Planet. We are excited to welcome Hugh S. Gregory to MarsCon 2006!
