How long to travel to Mars from the point of view of those traveling?
Posted by admin
T G asked:
I’ve heard that it will take roughly 9 months to travel to Mars. But, time travels faster when farther away from large gravitational fields. How long will it take from the point of view of an astronaut making the trip? What will be the maximum difference in the speed of time from an astronaut on the journey from the speed of time at mission control on earth?

The earth is large gravitational field relativistic effects on such trip are negligible.

The clocks on earth would be slower if you lose point something seconds year.

He will lose and gain micoseconds but since the conservation of energy law rules supreme the the total energy will be the same assuming the he did not visit the Kryspy Kream donot shop on top of Mons Olympus and put on a few pounds after eating a whole dozen

Travel and living overseasmy sister is on it helps.
