    Explains the reasoning behind space launch dates

    When mars is at it's "opposition", the distance between Earth and Mars is closest at approximate 75,000,000km away.
    When it's at its "conjunction" it's 400,000,000km away.

    "The group deployed suicide bombers but the attack was short-lived.."
