Wow, nice info. SpaceX is making good progress on their rocket that's designed to take people and cargo to Mars. IIRC their intended landing site is near Olympus Mons, and the first unmanned landing may be 2024, at least that's Elon Musk's stated goal. Based on testing progress at Boca Chica, I think he has a 50-50 chance of succeeding. The next opportunity is around 2026. I hope to see one of those launches in person.

Extra info
Olympus Mons (; Latin for Mount Olympus) is a very large shield volcano on the planet Mars. The volcano has a height of over 21 km (13.6 mi or 72,000 ft) as measured by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA). Olympus Mons is about two and a half times Mount Everest's height above sea level. It is one of the largest volcanoes, the tallest planetary mountain, and the second tallest mountain currently discovered in the Solar System, comparable to Rheasilvia on Vesta. It is often cited as the largest volcano in the Solar System. However, by some metrics, other volcanoes are considerably larger. Alba Mons, northeast of Olympus Mons, has roughly 19 times the surface area, but is only about one third the height. Pele, the largest known volcano on Io, is also much larger, at roughly 4 times the surface area, but is considerably flatter. Additionally, Tharsis Rise, a large volcanic structure on Mars of which Olympus Mons is a part, has been interpreted as an enormous spreading volcano. If this is confirmed, Tharsis would be by far the largest volcano in the Solar System. Olympus Mons is the youngest of the large volcanoes on Mars, having formed during Mars's Hesperian Period. It had been known to astronomers since the late 19th century as the albedo feature Nix Olympica (Latin for "Olympic Snow" ). Its mountainous nature was suspected well before space probes confirmed its identity as a mountain.

Awesome

Impressive! Would love to know how it looks up close.
