sending the lander or cruising to mars is equivalent to archery or shooting the arrow to the target.

that is some kung fu in space terms.

a documentary of a rover.

mars exploration rover (MER) mission.

[SPJ]

pictures and analysis of earth/rock formation are only 10 min away.

It takes 6 months to travel from planet earth to mars.

but it only takes 10 min to send radio signal back to us.

We are very "close" to our neighbor planet.

10 min phone call away sort of.
