As if that isn’t cool enough, you can also see 100% of Mars’ disk lit up by the sun that night—AKA the entire face of Mars will be visible. Related: How to Organize Your Weekly Schedule ...
A spacecraft launching from Mars' surface to the lower space elevator would only need a delta-v of 0.52 km/s (0.32 mi/s), as opposed to the over 3.6 km/s (2.2 mi/s) needed to launch to low Mars orbit.
