Mars Orbiter Spacecraft

The Article called, "India’s Mars Orbiter Spacecraft Successfully Enters into Orbit Around Red Planet.  It is about a spacecraft that is currently orbiting Mars and its atmosphere. The aircraft takes about 72 hours, or 3 days, to orbit Mars once. This is substantially larger than it takes an aircraft to orbit the Earth. The orbit around mars is also very far away from the planet, the closest being about 4km away. The Earth and Mar’s orbitals are very similar pattern, except Mars' orbit is substantially larger. With this being said, it is very possible to have a person orbit mars at some point in the very near future.
