DizRotus Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Please note; I’ve edited the initial post to reflect a travel time of eight months. I don’t know where I came up with four years. Eight months as opposed to 48 months makes all the difference, NOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Flynn Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 13 hours in a tin can to Tokyo is enough for me. No moon or Mars for me. I think there is allot we do not know about the ocean and geothermal energy. Allot to be explored on this planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 If you haven’t done so already, look up into the southern (from Southeast Michigan) sky to see the Red Planet. Mars won’t be this close to Earth again until 2035. I use Sky Map on my Android phone. It’s a free app that shows where planets and stars are from any location. There are similar apps for Apple devices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just a small shift in frequency inside the spacecraft. You'll get used to it and never notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
