Answer 2

The journey only takes several months. The length of time involves the type of rocket and how close the two planets are to each other. The first spacecraft ever to make the journey from Earth to Mars was NASA's Mariner 4, which launched on November 28, 1964 and arrived at Mars July 14, 1965, Mariner 4′s total time was 228 days.

The next successful mission to Mars was Mariner 6, which blasted off on February 25, 1969 and reached the planet on July 31, 1969; It's time was only 156 days. Next, Mariner 7 took only 131 days to make the journey.

Mariner 9, the first spacecraft ever to successfully go into orbit around Mars launched on May 30, 1971, and arrived November 13, 1971 which took 167 days.

Answer 3

The time it takes to travel to Mars varies depending on the spacecraft's speed and the alignment of Earth and Mars. On average, a one-way trip to Mars can take around 6-9 months. With current technology and projected mission plans, a round trip to Mars could take approximately 2-3 years.

Answer 4

No one has ever landed on Mars or even attempted to

Answer 5

There have been 9 landings so far, but 2 crashed on the surface of Mars.

Answer 6

Answer 7

It is estimated that it would take eight months to travel from Earth to Mars and another eight months to return.

Answer 8

That's an interesting question, but the answer is absolutely zero years. Humans have never landed on Mars! Satellites and small robots have gone to Mars but no humans.

Answer 9

Longer than recorded history.
