How to get to Mars

[Bushmiller]

One of my BILs sent me this link to U-Tube with the caption "Very Cool."

I thought yeah, yeah, here we go again.....

However:

How to Get to Mars. Very Cool! HD - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/embed/XRCIzZHpFtY?rel=0)

Interesting. I watched right the way through instead of going up to the hardware store. What's happening to me?

I would make the comment that before they consider scheduled passenger flights they have a close look at their landing approach (aircraft approach category ?) pattern. Unless they are prepared to make available sports bras and body belts there are going to be a lot of disgruntled (and severely jumbled) people.

All in all :cool: .

Here's the latest way to do it. :D

and the real thing:

I followed the landing live on the internet and it was the most exciting thing I've watched in ages. Let's hope we get back to the moon and onto Mars as soon as humanly possible!
