the link is from Nasa and they claim they may be able to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s
they also state that during the round trip the vehicle will have traveled more than one billion miles
however space.com says that the average distance between Earth and Mars is 140 million miles
I don't get this at all
I think the round trip will take about 1.5 years
they're going to need to carry an awful lot of food
a man should drink about 3.7 liters of water per day which weighs about 8 pounds
1.5 years is about 547 days
about 4400 pounds of water for each astronaut
if there are 5 astronauts that's more than 20,000 pounds of water alone
whoa_______!!!
