Mars...238 million light years?

Another proud public school graduate😁

Just a refresher, a light year is the distance light travels in one Earth year. Light travels at roughly 186,000 miles per second. Mars is a lot closer than that

Yes. That was my Goofball Error du Jour. Copy in haste, repent in leisure.
If I could quickly delete it, I would have.

not that we would hesitate for even a second to pollute another biosphere

Earth first. We can strip mine the other planets for our electric car batteries later. (/sarcastic-humor)

Ben Rich “We already have the means to travel among the stars but these technologies are locked up in Black Projects…and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.” “We now have the technology to take ET home. No, it won’t take someone’s lifetime to do it.

So, what was the fate of “a”??

It's core was unstable. Oddly, a small object appeared to be launched from it shortly before it blew apart.

Just a day-tripper voyage compared to reaching the nearest star system of Alpha Centauri. (You’re gonna need one helluva bigger ship to get there and back).

If we send Kevin Costner to perform there, it need not be a round trip.

Hi.

Let’s ask Elon Musk to build a probe to determine if the planet is inhabitable.

What am I thinking? We’ll all be dead before it gets there.
