That was the estimated cost in 1974. Adjusted for inflation, its closer to 100B. So yeah, cheap.

There's 7.7 billion people on this planet and only ~1.8 billion seconds in a 90-year lifespan.
Even if you tried to care about every single person, 1 second for 1 person, your life would run out by the time you hit 1.8 billion if you are lucky to hit 90.
Kind of a pointless venture.
That's why i find these groups who represent an entire gender or race moronic. You don't even have the basic math education to realize you don't have the lifespan to represent them all for 1 second each, yet you are pulling this shit? Get the fuck outta here.
Agree with your logic, but not your math:
90 * 365.25 * 24 * 60 * 60 = 2,840,184.000
so more like 2.8 billion seconds
Technically Aphelion and Perihelion refer to distance from the Sun for Sun-Orbiting bodies. I'm not sure what the term for min/max orbital distance for Mars orbits would be. Since greek for Mars is Ares, maybe aparion and periarion ?
Dunno. I think a real spaceship might be more practical.
