How long does it take to get to Mars? – BBC News
Why are there so many attempts to get to Mars at the moment?
The United Arab Emirate’s Hope satellite was despatched last week and now China has launched its first rover mission to the red planet.
Nasa’s Perseverance Rover is scheduled to take off on 30th July.
Well, summer 2020 is a popular time for missions to the red planet because of the way the planets align – but how long does it take to get there?
Landing on Mars is known as the “seven minutes of terror”, and there are lots of reasons why.
Here BBC Science Correspondent Laura Foster explains how long it takes to get there and why it’s so difficult.

This video contains distressing details.
Violence against women and girls in Iraq is widespread, but under reported, according to UN experts.
For incidents of sexual violence, there are no official figures. Human rights campaigners in the country say more needs to be done to protect women who speak out. They say threats and incitement against survivors should be investigated as crimes.
BBC Arabic’s Sally Nabil has been to Baghdad to speak to women who say family and social pressures discouraged them from speaking out, but have now decided to break their silence.

Floods have hit Australia’s largest city Sydney for the third time this year prompting evacuation warnings to 50,000 people.
Parts of Sydney have received about eight months of rain in four days.
Roads have been cut off, some houses are under water and thousands have been left without power.
Widespread flooding across Australia – driven by a La Niña weather pattern – has killed more than 20 people this year, many in New South Wales.

Saudia Arabia vows ‘serious response’ to Houthi attacks and other stories | Global News Podcast
The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have continued to fire missiles towards Saudi Arabia, after a number of deadly attacks on Riyadh’s main international airport.
Almost all flights to and from the airport have been suspended. The Houthis say their actions are in retaliation for “brutal Saudi aggression” against areas they control in western Yemen.
Saudi Arabia’s energy minister Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman told a conference in Riyadh that the seriousness of the attacks required an equally serious response from the Kingdom.

And when you get there? Live permanently indoors, or in a highly protective suit. Make sure you carry tons of Prozac.

I just had an idea. If we build several space stations in the same orbit as Mars we could travel to the space station we are closest to then wait for Mars to pass by and fly down to the planet. It would be always be the shortest distance. Much more spaceships could land. We wouldn't have to wait 2 years to get close. Mars could pass a space station every month if we built 24 of them.

7 months? Who you are u fooling humans in their current life form can never reach mars. On top 50 years after landing on moon we still struggle to land on moon again. I can't believe NASA is selling BS to world. In its shortest distance light takes 30 min to reach earth that means you found about rover landing 30 min after it landed. WOW

No we don't travel to mars like that. The spacecraft/satellite travels in earth's orbit and by gradually increasing the acceleration, it extends its orbit and that orbit meets the position where mars will be in next 7 months
