The first successful mission to Mars launched on 20 August 1975 and landed on 19 June 1976, ten months later.

The rovers Spirit and Opportunity took just 6 6️⃣ months to reach #Mars 🔴 in 2003 and 2004.

Various #SpaceAgencies are working towards a crewed 🧑‍🚀 mission. #NASA is working towards a 9-month journey, while #SpaceX hopes to cut the trip to 6 months https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-science/how-long-does-take-get-mars

#European 🇪🇺 and #Japanese 🇯🇵 #SpaceAgencies opted for traditional, expendable 🗑️ rockets instead of pushing toward reuse ♻️.

As a result, both of these competitors for commercial #satellite launches are now about a decade behind #SpaceX in terms of launch technology. If the ambitious #Starship rocket is successful, that gap could widen further https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/08/with-recent-falcon-9-milestones-spacex-vindicates-its-dumb-approach-to-reuse

With recent Falcon 9 milestones, SpaceX vindicates its “dumb” approach to reuse

The company’s workhorse continues its stellar performance.
