Where would you go….and why that one?
Mars Saw the movie Martian last weekend. The flight took several years and looked spectacular
Lesving, you beat me to it to find a way where it would be a long one..
I’d go on a serious diet so that I weigh very little. Put bladder tanks in any cavity of the plane I can find and, once airborne, set the power to whatever is needed for best endurance, and then just follow the pointing end of the wind vector. And then hope to see some place to land where there is AVTUR once it is time. Probably India or so. All this takes place on 31 december so that I’ll reverse the route on 1 jan. I’ve been pretty fortunate in my life so I count on winds blowing the other way then. All a piece of cake really. The only thing that needs some figuring out is how to justify my absence on new years eve.
Something like the KLAS to KLAS one? ;-)
Low earth orbit?
