since the earth revolves around mars.....?

Question

why cant we go there?

Answer 1

Earth is the 3rd and Mars the 4th planet out from the sun. Both revolve around the Sun and they do not revolve around each other.

The Martian year is 1.88 Earth years and we are relatively close to Mars once every 26 months: we last were nearby in October 2005 and will be so again in December 2007. It makes obvious sense to time expeditions to Mars when the distance involved is a relatively small one than at times when Mars is on the far side of the Sun from us: less fuel needed and a quicker journey,

Launch windows were / will be in:

June to July 2003
August 2005
October 2007
December 2009
February 2012

We have been sending rockets to Mars for 43 years now, Mariner 4 made the first Mars Flyby on 28 November 1964, It returned the first pictures of the Martian surface. It captured the first images of another planet ever returned from deep space; their depiction of a cratered, seemingly dead world shook the scientific community. Mariner 4 was designed to conduct closeup scientific observations of Mars and to transmit these observations to Earth.

Further expeditions to Mars are currently being planned,

Planned missions

Dawn - July 2007- Gravity assist on way to minor planets Vesta and Ceres (NASA)

Phoenix - August 2007 - Small Mars scout lander (NASA)

Phobos-Grunt - October 2009 - Mars orbiter and Phobos sample return (RKA)

Mars Science Laboratory - 2009 - Mars Rover (NASA)

Beagle 2: Evolution - 2009 - Mars Lander (ESA)

Mars 2011 - 2011 - Mars Scout mission (NASA)

Mars Science and Telecommunications Orbiter - 2011 or 2013 - Mars Orbiter (NASA)

ExoMars - 2014 - Mars Rover (ESA)
Astrobiology Field Laboratory - 2016 - Mars Rover - proposed (NASA)

Mars Sample Return Mission - delayed until at least 2016, more probably to 2024 - planned mission by ESA and NASA as part of the Aurora Programme

Answer 2

The Earth does not revolve around Mars, it revolves around the Sun like all the planets. Where did you get the notion that any planet revolves around another? And we CAN go there, we just haven't done so yet. Probably could have by now if we didn't spend so much money on the military.

Answer 3

The Earth does not orbit Mars. Earth and Mars both orbit the Sun, and are so far apart from each other even at their closest points that they have little gravitational effect on each other. Besides, even if the Earth and Mars were close together, it would make more sense to say that Mars orbited the Earth as it is somewhat less massive than the Earth is.

Answer 4

earth does NOT revolve around Mars, it revolves around the sun, and we CAN go there except we wouldnt be able to survive there. And it would take a really long time to get there.

Answer 5

The earth doesn't revolve around mars and we're working on a manned mission right now.

Answer 6

First of all we don't revolve around mars. The are lots of reasons why we cant go to mars. First if we want to go that far we would need protection from radiation that much radiation to mars would kill us. Second in space for along time will turn you're bones to chalk, your muscles don't work.If we go mars has no oxygen and food or water.We would have to bring all that. The most important one is because we don't technology to get to get to mars yet. We will probally go there around 2015, 2020.

Answer 7

well earth doesnt revolve around mars its close though and the reason we cant live there is that the air has no oxygen and the water has been found in ice-caps but since the planet is iron and it turned red...there probably once had life....

Answer 8

The planets are in orbit. Orbit isn't something yet perpetual unfastened fall. once you fall, the strain of gravity pulls you to the floor. in case you ought to, say, shoot your self out of a cannon at a quickly sufficient velocity and without wind resistance, you will possibly on no account fall to the floor. this concept, and the severe maffs at the back of it, made Isaac Newton nicely-time-honored. This additionally explains why the planets orbit and don't fall into the sunlight. The planets have sufficient velocity that the suns gravity can only redirect their trajectory into an orbit around it. If the planets a technique or the different lost sufficient velocity, they could certainly fall into the sunlight. it quite is no longer time-honored to be achieveable although. wish this permits.

Answer 9

It doesn't revolve around Mars, and we can get there - loads of space probes have mapped it.
