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.
wish someone would discover Warp Drive already or…I wish someone would discover something more “interesting” like The Warp. would you rather use crystals to travel at warp speed OR, and just bare with me here, OR would you rather travel through an alternate dimension filled with demons and gods that want to enslave you where you need powerful psychics to navigate and a massive “light house” potentially powered by one God-like human in order to find your way back to Earth.
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.

Bigger even than 1989 Belgian techno anthem “Pump up the Jam”.
Awa, a place to stay · Get your booty on the floor tonight. Make my day…
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.

I think the second option is way more “fun”.
