When Mars is the very closest to Earth it can be only 33.9 million miles from Earth (54.6 million kilometers). This happens every two years and is the best time to send a spacecraft to Mars. Even at its closest point a trip to Mars is 300 days or 10 months. However, when it is the furthest away it’s almost 250 million miles from Earth (401 million km). But on average it is about 140

A small slender figure stared at the sky while entering a building which was a jungle of steel and glass and
