How Long is a Trip to Mars?

Description

This is a short video trying to answer a simple question - why does it take 7 months to get to Mars. Disclaimer: A short video does not provide enough time to go into a lot of detail on the manoeuvres the spacecraft would have to do to get to a trajectory to Mars or what it has to do to get into Mars orbit. Also the optimal time to launch a spacecraft, given our current technology, would be before Earth and Mars are at their closest distance. In case you want to know more you can look up Hohmann transfer to Mars. The stated distances could vary subject to planetary orbital positions, external factors and type of technology used. ---------------------------------- Support the channel: ----------------------------------- I use epidemic sound - ----------------------------------- Contact - [email protected] #shorts #Mars #planets #solarsystem ***Special thanks to my patron - anno2122!*** - why not join them?
