Question
#60326. burqa
asks:
Who was the first man to land on Mars?
|
Arpeggionist

That auspicious title's still up for grabs. In fact, in the 1970s NASA was considering sending a manned mission to Mars, and a neighbor of mine was at the time one of the men selected to go, but because of the Vietnam war and the way the Apollo missions were doing on the moon, the missions to Mars were canceled. No human being has ever been further away from Earth than Jim Lovell, Fred Hays and Jack Sweigert, who flew 400 feet above the surface of the moon on the far side of it in Apollo 13, having missed their destination, the moon.
