Instead of relying on new propulsion, the method optimizes interplanetary trajectory using natural orbital geometry. Shorter missions would reduce exposure to radiation and microgravity, making human travel more viable. The result reframes Mars as a far more accessible target for future exploration. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos. New episodes on space exploration, NASA missions & the latest astronomy breakthroughs.
