... Just one: a very stringent requirement on the relative positions of Earth and Mars at the time of launch. ... Suppose the spacecraft which has landed on Mars is a robot , which collects a sample and immediately takes off again for its return trip. ... Since Earth and Mars constantly change their relative position, it stands to reason that if we sufficiently delay the return trip, Earth will move from position (2) relative to Mars to position (3), at which time the return trip can begin. ...

Finally, the deep space explorers --spacecraft which break away from the Earth's gravity . ... The "Luna" series of the USSR conducted 7 soft landing of unmanned probes, two of them with wheeled robotic "Lunokhods," and two of those missions returned samples to Earth. Others spacecraft have visited the major planets of the Solar system. ... The Mariner series have explored Venus and Mars--and Mariner 10 even reached Mercury, for three separate encounters! ...

The length of the shadow depends on the height of an object (like a mountain or a human) and how high up the Sun is. ... We can calculate the length of the shadow if we know the Sun's angle above the horizon and the object's height. ... The Earth spins 360 degrees in 24 hours, which means it spins 1 degree in 4 minutes; that in turn means the Sun moves 1 degree every 4 minutes in the sky. ...
