Funny how we consider that “close” in terms of space. It’s such a massive distance we can’t really comprehend it and it’s only the first planet out from us. Even at the speed of light it would take 3 minutes+ to get there! I’m no spacengineer but that’s like 186k miles per sec. Or something. Space is big. Really big.
Also, the comparatively small and weak gravitational field of Mars has made it a most challenging target in the solar system, behind only Mercury and the Sun itself.
Of course, through trial and error, with better know-how and tech, they have gotten increasingly competent and even reliable at the task.
Wow that’s incredible. We’re still making such incredible discoveries despite Mars being so close to home.

Make my dayyyyyy
But is it bigger than the pecs on the early internet viral sensation Techno Viking?
For comparison, you can travel around the Earth’s equator several times per second at the speed of light.
