We all want to see Mars up and close and personal and emails have been flying about saying that August 27 is the best date for viewing the Red Planet since it will be 'so' close to Earth.
Following is an excerpt from NASA ...
The Mars Hoax Goes Viral, dated 6-09-09
Don't believe it.
Here's what will really happen if you go outside after dark on August 27th. Nothing. Mars won't be there. On that date, the red planet will be nearly 250 million km away from Earth and completely absent from the evening sky.
The Mars Hoax got its start in 2003 when Earth and Mars really did have a close encounter. On Aug. The important to budget travel is to prepare in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our thoughts. Arranging and consuming our travel budget correctly is a concern for most families. Curbing consuming and fees, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured accomplishment and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding saving money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is really tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel expenses!. 27th of that year, Mars was only 56 million km away, a 60,000-year record for martian close approaches to Earth. Someone sent an email alerting friends to the event. The message contained some misunderstandings and omissionsbut what email doesn't? A piece of advanced technology called the "forward button" did the rest.
Take a look at the photos for some fo the best views of Mars - closest approach in 2007, courtesy of NASA. Apologies in advance - the photo gallery was not working.

While this is really not about affordable travel, if the Mars sighting were true, looking up at the night sky is a very affordable and interesting evening activity.
