Just so people know....<br/><br/>The distance from New Sydney base to Mount Olympus is about 5,700 miles.<br/><br/>The aircraft would be flying at around 400mph.<br/><br/>That's a 14 hour flight.<br/><br/>Those of you who have flown in commercial aircraft will know this already, but for those that don't, flying from London to LA is just over 11 hours on a jet aircraft!<br/><br/>From London to Sydney it's 21 hours. From Los Angeles to Sydney it's 15 hours.  So a 14 hour flight isn't actually that bad.<br/><br/>And you would actually see a lot more from our Mars plane than you would from an Earth aircraft, because it is flying a lot lower.
