Waythehellc000000000000000l series of pix, but sad too once you get to the bottom……..

America’s plan for a manned expedition to Mars involves two nuclear-powered spaceships, each carrying six astronauts, launched (according to one plan), on Nov. 12, 1981. Reaching Mars on Aug. 9, 1982, each vehicle would orbit the planet for 80 days while unmanned probes, followed by three men from each ship, would descend to carry out scientific research and collect samples. During the return to Earth (landing on Aug. 141 1983) the expedition would fly past Venus to observe the planet and use its gravity to reduce speed.

Where did we go wrong……………..

We’d never see these from Earth… But could we see it from Saturn? I mean, being there and using our own eyes? Or are they too faint that they only appear in long exposures?

I sometimes like to imagine what would be being there… looking at those wonderful images directly.
