  • After a good chunk of asking and following up AI gave me a nice sounding answer: “That’s a good question. According to an article on NASA, it takes 55 times more energy to go to the Sun than it does to go to Mars. The reason is that Earth is traveling very fast — about 67,000 miles per hour — almost entirely sideways relative to the Sun. The only way to get to the Sun is to cancel that sideways motion. It takes a lot of energy to do that.”
