For a trip to #Mars 🔴, decreasing travel time by 10% necessitates twice as much fuel, while cutting travel time in half requires ten times as much.

Many Mars missions do this, taking about 6 6️⃣ to 7 months for transit to the Red Planet. https://marspedia.org/Hohmann_transfer#Type-I_and_Type-II_Trajectories
