    How many miles is Earth from Mars?

    On average, the distance to Mars from Earth is 140 million miles (225 million kilometers), according to NASA. However, the distance to Mars from Earth is constantly changing.

    No doubt i have a hard time getting radio stations 50 miles from my house yet they can get radio signals to and from Mars.....

    My wife and I have been disgusted by bank video quality for decades! >:)

    It's like , it the year 2018 now and you can't install 1080P cameras in place of those outdated POS's.

    Although there was one video of these Bank Robbers here in a small town just below me that had great video detail and they caught them by a seeing and later matching a small tear in one of the guys red plaid jacket. The video was that good for a change.

    Great detective work also I might add!

    Stellar BASS! B)

    My wife thought there was thunder rolling outside.
    And I just had the sound up on my PC little system w/8"sub in the corner. I could imagine SRS's... :o:D

    Thanks for the reminder!
    My son sent me the Mars link, too -- I need to remember to go upstairs and try it on the big hifi. :)

    So I watched the Netflix mini-series called MARS.

    Interesting docu-drama. The Mrs thought it was boring however. Nonetheless it has some good points, and an extrapolation of what an expedition would look like, and what they might find.

    No, but I have read Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Martian Tales Trilogy...and over the years all of the Burroughs Martian, John Carter and Barsoom books (11 in all).
