It's a worthwhile goal but the preparing is a poor choice of words because it sounds like it's happening next week. You prepare yourself for work in the morning. You prepare for going to the supermarket. You prepare to take a dump by making sure toilet paper is present. You prepare for a trip. You research growing plants on Mars for many years and eventually stage operations on the Moon. Finally, when the day comes, you prepare for the first mission to Mars.

I thought being an assistant was a good experience. I'd do it again. This was a great deal for participants too. A similar class at a professional training center or college could easily cost between $1000 and $2000. In my opinion people got enough information to continue learning on their own, or evaluate if they want to they want to continue with paid training elsewhere.
