How Long Does a Mission to Every Planet Actually Take
Show notes
We talk about visiting other planets as if it's just a matter of time—but the real mission lengths are far more brutal than most people imagine. In this episode, we break down how long it actually takes to reach every planet in the solar system: the years of travel to Mars and the gas giants, the decades required for Neptune, and the unsettling truth that some journeys would consume a significant portion of a human life. Space science, sobering timelines, and a reality check on the true cost of exploring our cosmic neighborhood. Press play, turn up the volume, and don't listen alone.
