When did it first leave earth for mars?

About 6 months ago iirc. I think it takes about 7 or so to get there.


Edit: looks like it launched July 30th 2020.

I remember when this thing launched and I thought that's gonna be cool in 6 years

Depends on where in orbit we both are / when its launched.

Yup, between 6-8mos depending on orbit since it's not asymmetrical. Not too bad tbh. Definitely short enough for humans to make it based off what's we've seen in ISS. I'm not sure what Mars's gravity is like but I assume it's way better long term than none.

Five months? Growing up, I was under the assumption that you'd bring along a spouse, mate, have children, and they would live to see the landing.

Completely depends on the space craft.
