I agree that the moon is a better target for manned missions. An awfull lot of what we need to perfect for mars can be learned while living on the moon.

Nice animation. The speed of light is ridiculously slow.

That’s cool. Really puts it in perspective. My brother used to live in Alaska and there was a delay talking on the phone. It really takes some getting used to. You would keep talking over each other.
