Question about time and speed in space. Perseverance is about 70,000 KM from
Mars and is traveling 76,000 KM/hr relative to the sun. Yet Perseverance is still 5 hours away.
Is this based on the speed of Mars traveling around the Sun or something else I am not considering?
Seems like Perseverance should arrive at Mars in less than an hour.
