You know how they have “8-minute Abs”?
Now hold on.....what about “7-minute Abs”?
Don’t you dare suggest “6-minute Abs” are possible!

“How hard is it to land safely on Mars?”
You’d have to ask a real mathematician.

What is the value of Man landing on Mars, other than giving Engineers something to crow about?
Is there an expectation of having an endless supply of some precious mineral? That has also been said about the Moon, which is comparatively in Earth’s ‘backyard’.

Nice to know 90% of NASA employees are female or ethnic. The real work is by the white males working in the labs, problem solving and building.
Cool mission, though.

Interesting that UAE’s spacecraft “Hope” and the Chinese “Tianwen-1” also made it successfully to Mars orbits - no small task in itself.

Granted the UAE depended and depends mostly on US and Japanese expertise. But it is a great success so far for that team.
