The only thing I've heard is there is only two passes with the drink cart. Kinda' long flight for that. Thought, I've heard Jezero Crater is lovely.

Have a great trip :)

Oh yeah! And lovin' it!

Well, given it's only about 12 times the distance around the Earth, and I've probably done at least that in my career. And I have probably only ever had 2 inebriating beverages in that entire time, I don't have a problem with that at all! :D

By my calculations, it looks like it'll be during the next Hohmann transfer window. It'll take 259 days to make the trip. I've averaged 2 flights of 6 hours each every month for the last 27 years.... That adds up to about 160 days, so I'm ok with a 259 day trip... How about you? (I'm hoping my fare includes use of the swimming pool)...

Chris.....
To the stars, and beyond!

Of course. The Admiral will still be here (she doesn't want to go :noidea:), and she'll have the keys...

Chris.......

and we used to just need to worry about getting hit by a car on land.....on earth...... it will really hurt when that Tesla slams into someones Mars transport and the battery pack catches fire.

Yeah I heard NASA was collecting names and email addresses to sell to the Nigerians who were going to do a huge push to sell Mars bank accounts.............. you did not fall into that trap did you?
