All Things Space, UFOs, etc.Mars and back in just 153 days! Scientists have found a SHORTCUT that could dramatically cut the time it takes to reach the Red Planet Posted on June 2, 2026 by Administrator As one of the only other places we know where life may have existed in the solar system, Mars has been described as NASA’s ‘horizon goal for human exploration’. However, getting humans there is no mean feat. With current technology, a one–way trip to Mars would take roughly nine months, covering a distance of around 140 million miles. That means astronauts on a round–trip to the Red Planet could face up to three years away from home. But that could soon change, thanks to a new study. Scientists from the State University of Northern Rio de Janeiro have found a ‘shortcut’ to Mars.
