I hope its really visable, unlike those crappy ones in the past, which are supposedly going to be visable but aren't. Anyway if it is in the sky it'll be fun causing panic among chavs, telling them that aliens are going to wipe us out and stuff will be a laugh.

is not that far so it can be possible
WTF look at the date on the article Wednesday, August 13, 2003 Posted: 11:04 AM EDT (1504 GMT)
plus it says
"Next week, astronomers will send radio waves from antennas on Earth that will bounce off Mars to study the terrain where one of the two NASA rovers is targeted to land in January"

Yes... I think we see your point.... but! Our point is that Mars is how much bigger than the moon?....

Mars has a diameter of 6794 KM
Moon has a diameter of 3476 KM

So mars is nearly twice the size of the moon, therefore making it much bigger than you'd think when it's that close.

mars is visible to naked eye where i live, its a dull read spot, about same size as any bright star , it is visible! , but its imposible to be as big as the moon , that would mean mars is very close to earth , which it is not , and will not be. IT WILL LOOK LIKE A VERY BRIGHT STAR, but to see it as big as the moon you need BINOCULARS. this is true, i researched.
where i live i can see it too.
but it's not mars is venus :undecided:
