[0:00]How long would you take to reach Mars with different vehicles? Level one, running, at 20 km per hour, reaching Mars would take you 1,284 years. Level two, horse. A horse can reach 70 km per hour. Sounds much faster, yet it would still take 366 years to arrive. Level three, Formula 1. At more than 380 km per hour, you would feel real speed. But Mars is still very far away. 67 years. Level four, Japanese Maglev. At 603 km per hour, reaching Mars would take almost half your life, 42 years. Level five, Boeing 747. Flying at 920 km per hour, you meet Socrates, but you don't have time for philosophy. 28 years of travel await you. Level six, NASA X-15. At more than 7,200 km per hour, you would arrive in three and a half years. Level seven, Saturn V rocket. At almost 40,000 km per hour, you could reach Mars in 240 days. Level eight, the fastest thing in the universe, at the speed of light. Even then, it would take 12 minutes to arrive.
